It doesn't find the second controller, yes ?
Compiling a kernel with 'ATAPI_DEBUG' debug defined, will help a bit.
You may also want to add some printf's in wdcprobe().
Could you give a try at the boot floppy in
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/incoming/bouyer/ ? It has debug for the probe
routines turned on by default (which also are different than stock 1.3.2
kernel, of course).
