Interesting. About nine months ago I installed two amd64 machines with
dual SATA-II drives in software RAID-1. Worked like a charm with the
unofficial Sarge installer.

Given that sarge did not support my graphics chip or my ethernet chip,
I thought it would really be tempting fate to try on a SATA drive as
well. Maybe I was wrong.
