The bios in both and Intel Atom based motherboard and a Via C7 motherboard offered 2 options: 'ide' or 'raid'. I had a single SATA hard drive and a SATA DVDRW drive in both systems. Only the Intel board would load OpenBSD and that was with 'ide' selected in the bios. If I selected 'raid' in either system the bios would not configure raid for a single drive and it would not show up in the bios when raid was selected. The Via C7 motherboard had the additional problem that the OpenBSD driver only supported one SATA device with 'ide' selected.
How else would you say this?
I am still waiting for you to back this statement:

The point I'm trying to make shep is that you can't say blanket statements like "OpenBSD doesn't support SATA"

I never made a blanket statment that OpenBSD doesn't support SATA.
