 One 500GB is connected to SATA1, and another 400GB is to SATA2, and super DVD drive
to SATA 3 port.
Then, insert with the live-CD iso disk, and then the first messages from 9load
was displayed, and at that point system hang.
I think 9load cannot read CDROM's kernel.
Then, I got off the first drive, and connected it to another machine (P5K motherboard),
and installed the live-cd image using IDE mode...
After a bit more things to do, now I'm using fossil on the P5Q Pro motherboard with
two SATA mode HDD (DVD is not detected yet though).

I agree. It's much much better.
