 I believe I have encountered a similar problem with the i386 build of
 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE on the A8N32-SLI deluxe when using SATA disks.
 
 The boot loader is found and prompts me to press F1 for FreeBSD or F5
 for Drive 1.=20
 
 After Pressing F1, I see a '-' quickly replaced by '/' and then the boot
 loader stops. There is no further disk activity and the system never
 loads.=20
 
 I reverted back to FreeBSD 6.4 on an IDE disk. Under this build, the
 secondary (SATA) disk is recognized. =20
 
 Please let me know if there are any steps I can take to provide you with
 more helpful information than this "it don't work" meesage.
