It loaded sata_nv and I'm pretty sure the drive is probably set up. I'm running headless at the time so I can't confirm. This is a 3gb/sec SATAII drive and controller, so I'm thinking it might be unsupported, at least by the kernel on the live cd (lspci is showing almost everything as "NVIDIA Corporation unknown device")

I'll probably wait and see if drives and everything show up and see if Windows is able to see the drive once I install the nforce drivers for it too, but I can't do that until the 20th when I get a graphics card.

Oops, sorry, I didn't see this part. If the SATA
drivers are loaded when LiveCD boots it should see the
drive. I'm currently having a tussle w/ a SATA drive
myself(mostly resolved)

from dmesg:

Does the drive show up in the POST? If not there I
don't think gentoo will see it either.

If you run lsmod after LiveCD boots you'll see what
drivers it loaded.
