I'm not sure what your problem is.
I just recently installed 4.7-RELEASE on a HPT370A-based HighPoint
card (RAID1), and the only problems I had was that for some reason
disklabel put the / partition beyond the bootable area at the
beggining of the disk, and I didn't notice it, and disk numbering.
ATA_STATIC_ID seems to be used in 4.7's GENERIC... I'm out of ideas.
Or maybe, are you really sure you have the proper devices in /dev?
