The hardware I have is the built in SATA controller on the motherboard,
which is GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3. With the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 and
Super I/O chip: ITE IT8716.
Dmesg had no output pertaining to the partition/format/dd, etc... Just
messages from my ftp daemon. If you're wanting to see the boot messages,
this is from the last time I rebooted when I installed the disk:

This is actually a FreeBSD-Stable install... From 08/2006.... I realize it's
probably time to do an OS upgrade, but this is the ONLY issue I've run into
running this code base. Some of the software I'm running hasn't been tested
with 7.X, so I'm not comfortable going there yet.
