There was no différence for me to migrate from ide to sata than from  
ide to ide.

Just remember that the sata disk are managed via the scsi layer so the  
naming scheme is /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, ...

Then probably in your BIOS like in mine (ASUS A8V), there is an option  
to tell which is the boot device and there is, once again nothing  
specific.

You must have a kernel with sata support for your chipset.
