I had similar issues with a HP workstation. I am pretty sure it's the HP
xw4200. But I will look up the correct model tomorrow. Unfortunately I
do not have access to it today.
This workstation has a 32 bit (Pentium 4) CPU and a SATA drive. This drive
was giving me the exact problem the author describes. Not matter if I tried with
2.x or current.

The solution I came up with may not be the correct one (software wise).
You have to tweak the bios settings a bit. Those HPs allow different settings
for SATA->IDE emulations. You just have to find the one netbsd likes.
As it's quite a while when I figured this out, I do not know the exact settings
anymore. But if you want I can look this up tomorrow.
