Unfortunately, there is only two options, ATA and OFF.

Have you tried to change the modes of the controller in BIOS ?
Like native vs. legacy mode and RAID mode vs. SATA mode etc ?
The ICH7 support of FreeBSD might also be to blame. I'm not sure how good it
is atm.

Here is dmesg -a after booting verbose. The drive is connected to
Channel 0 on the SATA controller.

I get the same thing with FreeBSD 6.0 RC1. It boots to the installer
and then when attempting to install, it says it can't find a disk. The
controller is found as a SATA. Here is the relevant portion of dmesg

It appears that FreeBSD is not seeing this drive as attached for some
reason. Can you try a FreeBSD RC disk?

Some more info:
when I run atacontrol info, it appears that the disk is not attached. I
have booted to Linux and Windows installer and they both see the disk. I
believe that the SATA drive should be on ATA channel 2. (According to th
e boot messages, which show the ICH7 SATA Controller being detected with
4 channels, 2-5)
# atacontrol list
ATA channel 0:
Master: acd0 <HL-DT-ST GCR-8240N/1.06> ATA/ATAPI revision 4
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 1:

Please send the contents of /tmp/ after you receive the error message.
CTRL-C a number of times to break back to the shell and then SCP
then files somewhere.

I should also note that it has a single SATA drive on the first SATA
connection. I get the same issue with both of the two identical
systems.

I'm having trouble installing pfSense to my new Dell PE 850.
The installer doesn't find a disk. If I do an lsdev before booting,
I
see the disk and partitions. The system has a ICH7 chipset, which
appears to be problematic at this point in time. Does anyone have
any
idea how I could get this installed? Is there a way to easily
update
the kernel in the installer? Would that even help?
Thanks.
