The related lines I have are:
(note pciide0 is the onboard normal-ide33 stuff, not the hpt366, which is disabled)
pciide0         at pci0 dev 7 function 1 flags 0x0000
pciide1         at pci0 dev 13 function 0 flags 0x0000
atapibus0       at pciide0 channel 0
atapibus1       at pciide0 channel 1
cd0             at atapibus0 drive 0 flags 0x0000
cd1             at atapibus0 drive 1 flags 0x0000
cd2             at atapibus1 drive 0 flags 0x0000
wd0             at pciide1 channel 0 drive 0 flags 0x0000
wd1             at pciide1 channel 1 drive 0 flags 0x0000

I think a pciide* at pci? dev ? function ? line should pick up the new card.

I think it should be.

You might need one for the onboard if you're still using it for something like
a cd-rom (like I do)

That's fine.
kernel config is at:
