Greetings,
This question is sort of related to an earlier question I asked.
Installed 6.3-release on a new Dell PowerEdge SC 1435,
and am trying to see if the drives are recognized as SATA.

Looked at dmesg, but am unsure of how Freebsd would 
identify a SATA drive.

Wouldn't Freebsd fail to install if it didn't recognize the drives
as SATA ?

thanks,
Darryl
