wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing

wd0(piixide1:0:1): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 (Ultra/100) (using DMA)
During install, NetBSD picks up the partition table ok:
Start( MB) Size( MB) Flg Kind
---------- --------- --- ----
a: 0 200 Unknown (238)
b: 200 146304 Unknown (175)
c: 146504 6123 NetBSD
but when trying to newfs, fails with
Setting up DOS partition table
newfs: /dev/rwd0a: open for read: Device busy
According to
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2008/06/29/msg003277.html
disabling GPT support fixes this, although I've not yet verified this myself.

You should be able to install on dk devices. Once wedges are active on wd0,
you can only access wd0 from /dev/dk*; accessing it from /dev/wd* returns
EBUSY as expected. The installed does not know about wedges so you lose.

State-Changed-Why:
assuming fixed, we're a lot better about GPT installs now (we can even do them).
