I didn't *install* on my SATA drives on Dell PowerEdge 400SC, but 
FreeBSD 5.2.1 didn't have any issues with them. Brought them up fresh 
out of their antistatic bags with the 5.2.1 installer CDROM.

Don't believe I'm having any issues with the *drives* but vinum doesn't 
always remember their striped volume configuration between boots.

Not sure how similar the 400SC is to your 8400. The 400SC does not have 
ATA RAID on the motherboard.
