We don't have Nate> autoprobe for legacy devices yet. It was fairly recently. Within the last two months for sure. I can't be 100% sure, but I believe it's been since the start of BETA1. I've always had to run atacontrol for the drive, but lately it hasn't worked. It sees the drive there --- but it doesn't attach it and create the drive nodes. Previously, if for some reason, I booted w/o acpi loaded, it had this behaviour. Plugging and unplugging also always had a palpable pause in X as it happened (which I assumed to be acpi working).
