Following up, Michael is right, the on-board ATA controller does support LBA48. I have filled up some large disks with self-checking pattern, and verified the data on disk. It works fine. It is a little odd that I can boot part-way with the Tempo card, so some sort of OF drivers have to be on the card, but they must make NetBSD unhappy. I recall that for Mac OS 9, the ATA cards "faked SCSI" in the OFW, but I don't remember details of this. The name of the ATA card in OFW is "Ultra-Tek133P+/sd", which I believe is the shorthand for "SCSI Disk".The Tempo card otherwise works fine with NetBSD, you just can't boot from it.
I think the problem is that NetBSD gets confused when trying to map the OF boot path to a kernel driver in order to figure out which one is its boot ( and therefore - usually - root ) device. Please post your ofctl -p output so someone can have a look and fix it.
