FreeBSD 7.0BETA4 can't be installed on a NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI /
nForce 430i based ASUS P5N-E SLI board.  The nForce 430i south bridge
SATA ports are detected SATA devices do not get probed or detected.
It complains about timeouts and the device name is "unknown".
FreeBSD 6.3RC1 doesn't work either.

The relevant portions of the dmesg are below (the JMicron controller
is only for an external ESATA port):

...
atapci0: <JMicron AHCI controller> port 0xdf00-0xdf07,0xde00-0xde03,

Any help appreciated.
