Thanks.  The lspci shows:

01:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom BCM5785 [HT1000] SATA (Native SATA Mode) (prog-if 05)

So, the device doesn't use a standard class code.  Does anyone know if
it accepts standard ATA or AHCI commands?  If so, SeaBIOS could be
hardcoded to try and use the device.

The second email - the one with the SAS controller - did not have
debug level set to 8.
