    I just finished upgrading a system to a new motherboard with SATA. To
    do that, I loaded a normal parallel IDE drive, installed to it, and then
    used dump to move the install over to the SATA drive. Editing
    /etc/fstab to use ad4 instead of ad0 was the next step, and then finally
    setting the BIOS to boot from the SATA drive.
