Incorrect, OpenBSD does not require that all SATA controllers be in IDE mode.
You're taking me out of context, I meant that unlike some OS's, OpenBSD only has a single PCI IDE driver instead of having one for each vendor/chipset.
Depending on the chipset another driver may attach, for instance, ahci(4) on AHCI complaint SATA controllers.. or one of the hardware RAID controllers that OpenBSD supports, try apropos "SATA RAID" sometime.
In fact, you don't know what hardware the OP has.. saying that his only choice is to enter the BIOS and enable IDE mode for all SATA controllers isn't true.
