No, it should work out of the box. I've installed a 7.0 release and now
i run 7-STABLE.

Well, I don't have any problem on my net5501 with a WDC WD2500BEVS disk.
ComBios 1.33

The SATA is done by a chipset behind the ATA controller (the CS5536
companion chipset), so this is not a real SATA. I mean the OS only see
the ATA controller.
