I think some mention of ATAPI SATA drives should be mentioned. I have an SATA DVD-RW drive that needs a 7.0 kernel to be recognized, and given some comments on the list, the problem seems to be have been support for ATAPI SATA drives on FreeBSD 6.x(it's not in -STABLE). The chipset on the motherboard is "supported" under 6.x and it's a generic DVD-RW drive, but combined it's not supported without -CURRENT. I think <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=111084&cat=kern>; is related but I haven't tested the code(I'm currently on 6-STABLE and about to upgrade to 7-CURRENT kernel and 6-STABLE userland).
