I guess ataraid(4) is broken in NetBSD-5, as it is in NetBSD-4 and
-current.

See PRs #42985 and #38273 for starters.

I booted today's kernel and encountered a rather harder lockup than
previously (DDB hung doing a backtrace, sending BREAK to the serial
console had no effect), though the reset button, at least on my machine
downstairs, still worked fine.

I can imagine some machines where the reset button is more of a software
controlled feature -- I've seen that kind of design mistake several
times before -- but I don't know any details of your MSI board (and I
can't find any manuals or other information about it on MSI's site).
