Only One SATA Drive Detected

Hi everyone. I'm trying to reinstall FreeBSD on a machine that had a 
hard drive failure early this week. I bought two brand new 80GB Seagate 
SATA drives to do mirroring and started to put things together this 
afternoon.

I didn't know initially if the onboard SATA controller would work or 
not, so I only opened one of the drives in case I needed to replace them 
with PATA drives. I installed FreeBSD on the first drive with no 
problem, so I proceeded to open and put in the second one. I started the 
install again so I could set up the mirroring, but only one drive was 
detected. I checked the BIOS and both are detected there, so I booted 
back into my install of FreeBSD on the one hard drive and got a dmesg, 
which is attached.

I also tried to install with just one drive on the secondary SATA 
channel, but the install does not detect that drive at all so it cannot 
continue in that case. I found someone with the same problem (although 
different drive company), but there was no solution:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-March/003343.html

My hardware is:

MSI K8NGM2 (nForce4)
2x Seagate 80GB SATA
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE [i386]

So in short, only the primary SATA channel works.

Is this fixable? I have not tried 7-CURRENT yet because this is a 
production workstation, but would be willing to try if you think it 
would help.

Thanks very much in advance!

-Mark
