Meanwhile, could you try this patch to boot2.c and ata-disk.c and
install the new bootblocks created by this and see if it works with 
a genuine "ad" device set. You should then use ad?? in fstab of cause.
Boot directly ie like 0:ad(0,a)/kernel from the boot promt, as the
/boot/loader doesn't know about "ad" devices...

Another thing to try is to dump down ata-disk.c so it doesn't use 
either multi-sector mode or DMA, as that might confuse some disks,
notably WD but also Quantum has had some marginal disks...
