Note that the kernel people are pushing towards libata for all ATA devices, so the future (say, 10.3) will be sd*/sr* instead of hd*. Beta1 did select ata_piix accidentally, though, and it will be gone in beta2 (already gone in FACTORY). For those who can't wait until 10.3, there's the boot option 'hwprobe=[+-]modules.pata' that switches over to libata completely (resp. not).
