Works perfectly fine. My BIOS doesn't show any boot options for SATA, neither does the controller. I can install FreeBSD from CD on the SATA drive, but the boot manager seems to lead nowhere. I guess my mainboard is too old for that. But that doesn't really matter: I am going to divide the disk up and mount it on my old system. Thanks, Uli.

Well, I was kinda hoping someone else would come up with an answer. I kinda prefer to lurk (something about opening one's mouth and removing doubt...). In the past, I have forgotten to set external controller's to be bootable. Perhaps you need to set either scsi or "mass storage device" bootable before hd/cd/floppy/whatever.

SATA drive bootable ???
Hi! I just started playing around with my new SATA disk (with SATA 150 TX2plus controller on -CURRENT). I can mount and format it all-right. Is it generally posssible to boot from such a disk (different question would be if it made sense to do so)? My SATA drive is recognized as ata2-master.
