There are no SATA drivers available for NetBSD 1.5.x and there will
very likely never any because the release has been declared end of life
several years ago and nobody is working on it anymore.

Upgrading a machine from NetBSD 1.5.1 to NetBSD 3.0 will take less
time than getting SATA working on that old release. My usual experience
is that it takes about an hour.

You can as quick fix simply try using a NetBSD 3.0 GENERIC kernel with
your 1.5 userland. Certain tools (e.g. "ps" or "top") might not work
but maybe you don't need them.

You cannot. There have been many changes to the kernel and especially
the ATA framework which will prevent that from working.
