That's all expected, actually. There's a silicon bug in your model of K2
SATA controller that presents a phantom second function (atapci1), to
which the SATA driver correspondingly fails to attach. Similarly, both
actual ethernet ports are controlled by bge(4), and Apple has left a
phantom gem device on the bus, to which gem(4) also fails to attach.
