With my Conner CP3544 (540MB,IDE) I got a one page sheet containing the setups of 
different Conner drives. For the CP3204 I found the following jumper settings:
  Single Drive: Jumper on C/D
  Master Drive: Jumper on C/D and DSP
  Slave Drive : No jumpers installed

I got the same message when booting Nate's fixit and dist-fs kernel (including
the patchkit-0.2) from floppy. After testing all devices the bootstrap
crashed. My BSD partition starts after a 200MB DOS partition. I'm using
the drive in translation mode, so this may be the reason for the problem
observed.
BTW - the same problem occurred with the default distribution kernel. I was
able to boot BSD with a patched kernel containing Holger's codrv and some
other patches. I hadn't had the time to look at the patches applied to this
kernel, so I can not tell you, why this kernel boots.
