This message has been mutilated.  This text:

>> controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14
>> flags 0xa0ffa0ff
>> vector wdintr

should all be on one line:

controller      wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff vector wdintr

The 'vector' specification went away recently, and the 'bio' keyword
will soon go as well.  They tell the driver which interrupt routine
and interrupt level to use.  I'd guess that Dan's config file is a
little older.
