Hello,

I'm trying to install Dragonfly BSD 1.8 on a Dell XPS 600.  It has an
integrated Nvidia Nforce 4 Intel Edition SATA RAID Controller, but
Dragonfly can't find the hard disk attached to it.
I looked for hardware compatibility lists, but couldn't find anything
referencing different SATA chipsets and what was supported.  Mailing
list searches seem to indicate that ATAng was not really implemented,
but that was a while ago:

Any info on this chipset?  Thanks,

Hello Jon,

Have you tried NATA?

For NATA, add options PCI_MAP_FIXUP to your kernel, comment out the
old ata devices, add device nata, device natadisk and device natapicd.
