Great!

There isn't much SeaBIOS info in that log - can you recompile with
CONFIG_DEBUG_LEVEL set to 6?

The equivalent patch in SeaBIOS would look like:

--- a/src/ata.c
+++ b/src/ata.c
@@ -841,7 +845,8 @@ ata_init()
     int count=0;
     int bdf, max;
     foreachpci(bdf, max) {
-        if (pci_config_readw(bdf, PCI_CLASS_DEVICE) != PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE)
+        u16 class = pci_config_readw(bdf, PCI_CLASS_DEVICE);
+        if (class != PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_IDE && class != PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_RAID)
             continue;
         if (count >= ARRAY_SIZE(ATA.channels))

I ran into this same issue when porting the dl165g3 board.  I was able
to get SeaBIOS to boot from my SATA disks by applying the following:

What S-ATA controller is that? We have a SIL 3114 driver which sets the
class ID from RAID to IDE in coreboot. Maybe something like that would
work here, too?

Not sure which is the better approach though.

This is the onboard BCM5785/HT1000 SATA controller.
