Need help installing on SATA

Does anyone know the magic incantation that will permit me to install
FreeBSD on this new machine of mine (nVidia chipset, SATA1 disk
controller)?
I've been trying for a week or so now, with no luck. Just out of
curiosity, I downloaded and ran Ubuntu 8.x, and it recognized all of
my hardware automatically. The FreeBSD installer (both in 7.x and
8.x), though, can't find my hard drive or CD-ROM.
I *really* don't want to have to resort to Linux, not after using
FreeBSD for 12 years now, but if I can't find a solution to this
problem, I'll have no choice. :-(
Thanks for any advice.
