You can ignore USB errors for now.

Does it hang / locks up / reboots at that given point?

Or, does it boot, only it's unable to initialize IDE controller?

What's that hardware? CPU? What are other expansion cards installed?

You haven't provided any useful information... Below are some generic
hints... I hope someone on the list can provide you some better explanation.

1) Fiddle with some BIOS settings, I'd try for example "Plug
   and Play OS installed". Try booting the machine without any unnecessary
   equipment. Make sure you have IDE controller enabled.

2) Check if it works on netbsd-current. If it does, use current -- 
   or e-mail a proper list or use send-pr(1) with full dmesg description
   and error messages, so this feature could be propably included to
   -stable branch.
   
3) If it doesn't, make whole dmesg available, as we don't know anything
   useful about your hardware. Also, include information, what equipment do you
   use (which could not be included in dmesg). If you can't use the hard drive,
   boot a failing kernel off a CD or from a floppy and transfer the data via
   network.
   
Hope this helps.
