opendarwin on a sata drive

hello :)

i'm running amd64 so i thought opendarwin should work on it. it looks like the install cd is booting properly but the problem begins when it comes to selecting the drive for install. i have two drives and both are sata, and it looks like opendarwin completely ignores them. it just shows "select the drive..." and nothing more. i can type, pres enter and do whatever i wish without any response.

doesn't opendarwin have any support for sata or do i just need to enable something at bootup?

What kind of motherboard do you have?

The best thing to try is performing a Google search using the name of your motherboard's SATA chipset, and checking if it's compatible. I know that my Via 8237 isn't compatible with most BSD flavors, which is kind of disappointing, as I LOVE Free and NetBSD.
