I think my original statement is being taken out of context. OpenBSD does support SATA drives but the BIOS needs to have IDE emulation (or as you said in your earlier post IDE mode) set- ie not RAID mode.
The one statement I have made is that on motherboards that use the VT8237S chipset OpenBSD will not support more than one SATA drive.(PR6117) The original poster said he had two hard drives.
FreeBSD will support more than one SATA drive and the fact that the Original Poster could not get PC-BSD to install suggested that the bios settings might be at fault. Certainly his motherboard could have a bad chip or even less likely both SATA drives are bad. I thought his bios setting should be the first thing looked at.
Oko and BSDfan666, I appreciate all the support you provide to the forums, each of you has helped me several times.
