That would be nice, but I hadn't thought of the issue with OFW non-
grokkage (I currently boot of a SiI680 with no problems); that could
be solved by putting a small system disk in the machine on the on-
board controller to boot off of, but that's more of a pain.

Thanks for the hints re: port multipliers and NCQ though -- I'm learning
more about the differences in the various SATA-descended things ;)
