freebsd 7 with sata drives

[Brian]

The board in question is an Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI.  I have tried the 
instructions for a safe kernel compile in /usr/src/updating also.  Even 
after that, the kernel starts to load, but the root partition cant be 
found, and I am left at a mountroot> prompt.  If I go ufs:ad5s1a, that 
fails as well.
