[... lots of stuff about how to change the NetBSD drivers to support
SATA ...]

This sounds like it might be more work than snarfing the FreeBSD ATA
drivers, which I believe already supports a full superset of what the
NetBSD drivers support (but I may be wrong, of course.)  The FreeBSD
drivers are also very well maintained - Søren has been doing an
outstanding job.

There might be things that block switching that I don't know about (or
it may be more work), of course - but it would be nice to converge
instead of diverge.
