You may also want to try
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0

I also get these for some motherboards, it doesn't seem to hurt.

If you're running 1.6, you may want to try upgrading your kernel to
1.6_STABLE. Some bugs in the VIA IDE support has been fixed.

It's related to some problems with ATAPI devices. I though it was fixed, but
maybe not in all case. Sometimes just opening/closing the CD drive makes
the led work again.

There is support in -current. There are also unofficial patches for
1.6_STABLE, that you can get from CVS:
setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
cvs co -r netbsd-1-6 -P syssrc
cd syssrc/sys/arch/i386
cvs up -dPA -r i386mp_plus16_stable
