>Description:
I got myself a mainboard with the ICH7 chipset. This chipset is supported
in FreeBSD, but on my board it had a problem. It found only 2 of my four
disks (ad0 and ad2) I tried updating to 6.0-stable (from 6.0-release) but
the problem resist.
I found a patch at bsdforums that did indeed work.       
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD on a ICH7 mainbord with 4 SATA. 
(atacontrol finds the controllers, but not drivers attached)
>Fix:
Taken from http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?threadid=37304
