 Okay, I've also just posted up the fixes (derived from the patch in PR
 kern/116125:
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116125
 
 The patches that I put on my site only enable support for the IXP600 and
 take into account that the IXP400 and IXP300 SATA support are already in
 the HEAD revision. As always, the patches are against -CURRENT. You must
 apply the sound card fixes in order to get the SATA to work, otherwise
 you'll be getting a bunch of bogus data from the mem i/o ops.
 
 If you don't fix the sound card memio range: Likely case the driver
 won't attach to the connected device(s), possible unlikely case: wreck
 the data on your drive.
