Well, mine "just works":
http://people.freebsd.org/~marius/t1-200.txt
I've also tried some combinations of variations like w/
and w/o ATAPI DMA, w/ and w/o a CD, w/ and w/o a HD (one
strange thing is that yours probes for SCSI devices before
attaching acd0 while mine does that afterwards) but none
made a difference. So either the problem was temporary
(the preallocation of DMA related things in ata(4) being
switched back and force comes to my mind) or it's truly
specific to your machine.
The bad news it I couldn't get the firmware of mine to
netboot.
