My guess is you need to build a kernel with something like:

device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14

Guess, I cannot try this anymore as I don't have a PC64 anymore.

Can you experiment a bit with this and let me/the list know?
If you can get something working I will update the Alphas-specific docs.
