I had no idea FreeBSD didn't support it until I read this email. I have since upgraded to 7.0-CURRENT (32-bit): FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Jul 14 21:22:14 MDT 2007 Now, from my dmesg (sorry, didn't keep one from 6.2...): ata5: on atapci1 ata5: SATA ATAPI devices not supported yet ata5: [ITHREAD] I know my BIOS setup is not the same now as it was when I did the initial install, but AFAIK, the only difference is that I had to disable the onboard RAID controller to install to the RAID array then re-enable it to boot off of the array (funny, I know, but it was the only way the BIOS would let me boot off of the SATA DVD drive at all!) -Mark Carlson For posterity, the mobo was a S3000AHLX, which works OK, it'll be nicer when I can get the SMBUS controller working... if I can, that is.
