This forces SeaBIOS to see it as a PATA controller, but it's in SATA mode.
Is there an easy way to add SATA support to SeaBIOS? It sounds like a bit of work. It looks like you could force the device to be in PATA mode, but once it's booted that's not ideal.
SeaBIOS only supports PATA mode. To the best of my knowledge, filo also only supports PATA mode drives (or SATA drives connected to a PATA compatible controller).
I'm not against adding support, but I don't have the knowledge to do it at this time.
