I just finished upgrading a system to a new motherboard with SATA.  To
do that, I loaded a normal parallel IDE drive, installed to it, and then
used dump to move the install over to the SATA drive.  Editing
/etc/fstab to use ad4 instead of ad0 was the next step, and then finally
setting the BIOS to boot from the SATA drive.
