okay.  so it sees your controller, but not the drives. there
are a couple reasons this might be.

- power management.  perhaps the drive is using PUIS.
you might try at the rc prompt
	echo reset>/dev/sdE1/ctl
	echo reset>/dev/sdE0/ctl
and then try to continue with the install.  the
contents of /dev/sdE?/ctl will be interesting.

- originally, the ahci driver had trouble with ports that
weren't contiguous.  ahci allows drives to be missing.
e.g. drive 0 and 3 exist, but not 1 or 2.  if this is the problem,
you'll just have to use a more recent driver.
