There are very few add-on SATA controllers with proper OpenFirmware support. These four are known to work: Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI [1] SeriTek/1V4 [2] SeriTek/1eVE2+2 [3] SeriTek/1S2 [4] Other SeriTek cards explicitly described as "compatible with all PCI-based Power PC Macintosh computers" with "completely self-contained booting functionality" should probably work equally well. If you find other add-on sata controller(s) able to boot a PowerMac machine, please let me know.
