I've tested some so far: 220, 230, 240, and 250. : Can anyone offer a hint how I can get BSD to find the drive? First, make sure your CR-562 and CR-563 (the only Matsushita Proprietary that are drives supported) is set to be Drive 0, a little jumper on the back of the drive. The first drive must be set to Drive 0. These drives do not use DMA or IRQs, so those settings should be turned off. Only the I/O port is necessary. I suggest that you boot -c and set the port address to -1. The driver will then try several addresses the drives are known to use. If it identifies the correct address, reset and set the port address to that for faster booting. If the auto-detect doesn't work and you can make it work under DOS, see if the DOS driver messages happen to say what I/O port is correct and use that. The matcd driver can be set to ANY address using boot -c. You might read the man page too (man 4 matcd).
