Could you please show your 'pciconf -lv | grep -A3 ata' output?

My 1435 says:

atapci1 at pci0:2:1:	class=0x01018a card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x02141166
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
~    vendor   = 'ServerWorks (Was: Reliance Computer Corp)'
~    class    = mass storage
~    subclass = ATA

atapci0 at pci3:14:0:	class=0x01018f card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x024b1166
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
~    vendor   = 'ServerWorks (Was: Reliance Computer Corp)'
~    class    = mass storage
~    subclass = ATA

But it's an SC1435 with SAS disks I believe, so things may different.
Also, will it be possible if you find some output from vmstat -i?

Cheers,
