 This workaround does, in fact, make i386 boot for me while my SATA 
 controller is in AHCI mode.  My opinion is that it should be committed 
 on the branch as a patch (so that a real fix can be made on the trunk), 
 and netbsd-6 RC1 released.  Can anyone else try?  My .iso that I tested 
 is here:
 
 http://www.tastylime.net/netbsd/NetBSD-i386-69910-patch.iso
 
 ...if anyone else wants to test.  It's -current plus the patch in that 
 email.
