Ok that means that for the moment you cannot use your ATAPI CDROM drive.
Note: The ATAPI driver is ALPHA state and was written for NetBSD/i386. I have
ported it top NetBSD/arm32. Also note that atm this code has is not an offical
part of NetBSD as it has not been merged into the NetBSD source tree.
This means that bugs are expected....

I have a new version of the ATAPI code that I will merge into the kernel when I
have a moment. This may fix your problem.

I am talking to I-cubed about this.

I am currently waiting for clarification from ART on this address.

The reason that the Acorn address is used is that that was the only address
that
I knew how to generate and would not clash with another network slot card.
Note: Although this is a Acorn address ANT use it for their EtherB cards which
going by the above comment is wrong.
