I'd like to set the ICH7 controller in a Gigabyte 8i955 Royal
motherboard in AHCI mode, as I understand this enables NCQ support for
SATA drives.
However, if I enable AHCI in BIOS, 6.1-RELEASE boots up but can't find
the hard drive in the system even though it shows up as the dmesg
scrolls past.
Hmm... ata-chipset.c says there is AHCI support.
#include sys/cdefs.h
__FBSDID($FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c,v 1.126.2.11 2006/03/16 21:28:
51 sos Exp $);
If so, what could be the reason for FreeBSD not finding the SATA hard
disk in the system in AHCI mode?

Most likely this renumbers the drivers, so you go from your hard drive
showing as eg. ad0 to ad4. You will need to edit /etc/fstab as
appropriate to match what the drive is showing up as after changing to
AHCI mode.
Yep... exactly like that -

Usually I find that ad0/ad1 = primary IDE (master/slave), ad2/3 =
secondary IDE (master/slave), and then the SATA connectors pick up from
ad4 onwards...
The SATA ports seem to be numbered in increments of 2, presumably
because every SATA port
