My BIOS doesn't show any boot options for SATA, neither does the 
controller.
I can install FreeBSD from CD on the SATA drive, but the boot 
manager seems to lead nowhere.
I guess my mainboard is too old for that.

But that doesn't really matter: I am going to divide the disk up 
and mount it on my old system.

Thanks,

Uli.
