Well, i tried ping-ing from a different box but i'm using the freebsd 
box as a router to the netbsd box so this makes no sense at all.
I'll try a different nic in the freebsd box and i could attach my laptop 
to the netbsd box directly. Results will be mailed as soon as possible.

The raid setup is located only on the ide disks whereas the scsi disk 
just holds the system.
