I adjusted my BIOS (SOYO Dragon Platinum) to enable only the Primary IDE 
+ SATA and now I can see all drives on FreeBSD-5-CURRENT.  However, the 
dmesg output looks a little weird:

ad2: 76319MB <ST380013AS> [155061/16/63] at ata1-master SATA150
ad3: 76319MB <ST380013AS> [155061/16/63] at ata1-slave SATA150
ad4: 76319MB <ST380013AS> [155061/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150
ad6: 76319MB <ST380013AS> [155061/16/63] at ata3-master SATA150

All 4 drives are plugged in to the Silicon Image controller (4 ports).

I'm of course happy to install a PCI-based SATA controller, once I'm 
certain about which is best recommended for FreeBSD-5.  The jury seems 
out on Highpoint and Promise.  Anyone care to comment?

The dmesg output should probably read master/slave master/slave... ?


Thanks.
