I took a quick look at the drivers, and found a difference.

NetBSD:

	dev/pci/satalink.c

        /*
         * Rev. <= 0x01 of the 3112 have a bug that can cause data
         * corruption if DMA transfers cross an 8K boundary.  This is
         * apparently hard to tickle, but we'll go ahead and play it
         * safe.
         */
        if (PCI_REVISION(pa->pa_class) <= 0x01) {
                sc->sc_dma_maxsegsz = 8192;
                sc->sc_dma_boundary = 8192;

FreeBSD:

	dev/ata/ata-chipset.c

    if ((ctlr->chip->cfg2 & SIIBUG) && ch->dma) {
        /* work around errata in early chips */
        ch->dma->boundary = 16 * DEV_BSIZE;
        ch->dma->segsize = 15 * DEV_BSIZE;
    }

And of course there may be other differences I didn't find.
