Have you tried something like

atacontrol mode 1 UDMA6 UDMA6

to change the mode to the highest values possible?

I have 
katrin# atacontrol info 1
Master: acd0 <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B/A102> ATA/ATAPI revision 5
Slave:  acd1 <HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4120B/2.01> ATA/ATAPI revision 0
katrin# atacontrol info 0
Master:  ad0 <SAMSUNG SP1614N/TM100-30> ATA/ATAPI revision 7
Slave:   ad1 <SAMSUNG SP0802N/TK100-24> ATA/ATAPI revision 7

with

katrin# atacontrol mode 1
Master = UDMA33 
Slave  = PIO4

after boot and end up with 

katrin# atacontrol mode 1 UDMA6 UDMA6
Master = UDMA33 
Slave  = WDMA2

Usually I only use acd0, so I didn't care (real life runs
at a higher priority <g> right now).
