Hi,

i have such a system. It was running previous FreeBSD-5.x versions and is 
now running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2.
There were no problems to get everything working. The SATA controller 
works out of GENERIC.

some lines out of dmesg(8)

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz (2665.40-MHz 686-class CPU)
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35>
ahd0: <Adaptec AIC7901A Ultra320 SCSI adapter>

ad6: 76319MB <Maxtor 6Y080M0/YAR51EW0> [155061/16/63] at ata3-master SATA150
ar0: 76293MB <ATA RAID1 array> [9726/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
  disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master
  disk1 READY on ad6 at ata3-master

as you can see, i have only 2.66GHz and 80GB HD's.

regards
Joerg
