Here are the ata-related lines I was able to glean:

ad0: <WDC AC26400R/15.01J55> ATA-4 disk at ata0-master
ata1-slave: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=2 dmaflag=1

There were also a couple of root mount attempts:
Mounting root from cd9660:/dev/acd0a

That didn't explicitly fail (at least there was not message
saying it failed). Then, a few lines later we have:

iso_mountroot(): using sessions at block 119548
Root mount failed: 22

Haven't figured out how to do this yet. Are you referring to
connecting the two machines using a null modem cable? If so,
I tried that but couldn't establish a tip connection. I
assume the command would be something like 'tip -9600/8N1 foo',
but I don't know what host name to use for foo. But maybe
you're referring to something else entirely and I don't get
it yet. (I've been watching DragonFly's progress since you
got started, but this is the first time I've tried to do
anything with it.)

It's an older machine and doesn't have a USB port.

For what it's worth, here's the dmesg from a normal boot of
the machine:
