The NETBSD people use a different wd driver than FreeBSD.  Apparently, that's
your problem.  How to fix it?  Figure out how to stuff the FreeBSD driver
into NetBSD.

Other easy fix?  Run FreeBSD, and wait until NetBSD *and* FreeBSD get a 
*good* working wd driver that will support all wd drives with equal 
facility.
