I'd like to add a SATA drive to a P4 box that I use as a gateway/server.
The MB doesn't have a SATA interface, so I stuck an Initio-based SATA card
in the box. The kernel recognizes the card, but the attached drive wasn't
displayed when I started up sysinstall to format it. I'm wondering whether
I am missing SATA support. I commented out a bunch of stuff such as the
SCSI controllers when I compiled the kernel with ALTQ support, but these
options *are* included:
# SCSI peripherals
device          scbus      # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device          ch         # SCSI media changers
device          da         # Direct Access (disks)
device          sa         # Sequential Access (tape etc)
device          cd         # CD
device          pass       # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)
device          ses        # SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE)

Should this be enough? I don't see any specific references to SATA in the
handbook
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html>

Usually SATA is more ATA then SCSI. Try to add to your config:
device          ata
device          atadisk         # ATA disk drives
device          ataraid         # ATA RAID drives
device          atapicd         # ATAPI CDROM drives
device          atapifd         # ATAPI floppy drives
device          atapist         # ATAPI tape drives
