   Hi Xin LI,

   Thanks for your quick update.

   I knew FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE can support SATA without doing any
   configuration. But the problem is my application cannot support
   FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE. They only support FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE. So I need
   to get ICH5 support. Any idea?

   Cheers, Ann
