special test request for 6.1-BETA1 on ATA disks

Folks,  

I am getting the strong impression that there is something hosed
related to ATA at least on the DS10 and DS10L.  Test installs 
on ATA disks work fine, but the first boot of the installed disk
fails miserably, typically the symptom is that the first shell won't
start or similar.  I got:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0a
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.6: Unsupported relocation type 1611047936
in non-PLT relocations

Observed on one DS10 and one DS10L.  The problem does not
occur when you use a SCSI disk (which I typically do so I missed this
before).

Those of you who own this machine type and have a spare IDE drive,
can you please test it?  Other reports for different system models
are interesting too of course.
