The kernels used by the Sarge installer (both 2.4 and 2.6) are known to 
have very limited SATA support.

You have two options:
- Install Etch [1], which is expected to be released very soon.
- Use an *unofficial* Sarge image with backported kernels and
  related utilities [2]. Note that this image is not supported.

Closing your report as SATA support in Sarge is a known issue.

Cheers,
FJP
