This is as far as I ever gotten on a NetBSD install. I managed to get the daemons setup as recommended for Xfce4.6.1 using the Gnome guides. When hal is running I get the following error messages which repeat until the system locks up after a few minutes.

device 0:1:0 is a Asus sata dvdrw drive. I do not have any issues with my Western Digital SATA hard drive.
I also notice a message at shutdown that hal is not properly configured
If i remove hal=YES from /etc/rc.conf then I do not have the interrupts.
I googled and found an old email that the viaide driver is buggy and a suggestion to disable it and use the pciide driver only. Does this entail a new kernel or can use boot -c to try out a kernel without viaide?
Is the viaide driver still buggy or am I missing something on the hal configuration?
