I have yet to see anyone complaining about too much information. ;-)
Nevertheless, AFAICS (which is rather limited), it seems your wd2 disk
(which I assume is the problematic one) is attached as an IDE device but
is missing the corresponding wd0/wd1 line:
wd1(pciide0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5
My guess would be that the mainboard is using some (possibly crappy)
IDE/SATA converter that, at least from OpenBSD's point of view, does not
support anything but the basics, causing the bad result.
Regarding FTP/SMB differences, I guess that could come from differences
in the protocols and how they do their disk access etc.
As noted, my knowledge is not great at these kind of things, so ACK's,
NAK's and/or corrections would still be appreciated. :-)
