    Well, basically SATA controllers look almost like normal IDE controllers
    so the issue is mostly just adding support for the PCI IDs.  If a 
    device is not recognized report your pciconf -l and dmesg output and
    if FreeBSD-5.x/6.x has support for the ID we can usually bring it in
    fairly quickly.
