 Just another data point.  I have an ASUS M5N-E and it has the MCP55.  
 With BIOS 0103 (really old, causing other problems) FreeBSD-8.0-RC1 
 boots.  With a more recent BIOS (1601 --- marked as working with 
 solaris) it only recognizes the PATA disk in the machine (and not the 
 six SATA disks).  The loader.conf hack appears to make it work, but I 
 haven't fully tested it yet.
