Hello FreeBSD people all over the world,

There is an onboard Intel SATA controller on Intel DH55HC motherboard.
I have tried FreeBSD version 7.3 and 8.1 on this motherboard, it
recognizes the SATA controller but recognizes the hard disk as IDE
devices. How can this happen?

$ uname -a

I did everything to prevent the FreeBSD kernel from recognizing the
hard drives as IDE. I turned off all IDE emulation options in the
BIOS.

How can I fix that?

Thanks
