Can you try the last CURRENT snapshot with your drive?

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/

I guess the problem is with a SATA controller support...

Well, the problem with the drive not recognizing has been fixed with CURRENT. The inability to boot freebsd still occured with the latest snapshot so FreeBSD's not perfect on it. I may temporarily downgrade back to STABLE(and keep a CURRENT in /boot for when I want to use the drive even if it means rebooting). In anycase, here's the relevant lines in dmesg.

atapci0: <VIA 6420 SATA150 controller> port 0xe100-0xe107,0xe700-0xe703,0xe800-0xe807,0xe900-0xe903,0xe000 -0xe00f,0xd000-0xd0ff irq 20 at device 15.0 on pci0
atapci0: [ITHREAD]
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata2: [ITHREAD]
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0
ata3: [ITHREAD]

acd0: DVDR <LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S/9L05> at ata2-master SATA150
WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance.
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0 is iso9660/FreeBSD_bootonly.

So now comes the next two questions, any ETA on getting into STABLE and how about the loader not crashing?
