RH9 doesn't have SATA support "out-of-the-box" (too old kernel version). 
  FC3 has support for SATA controller and disks, and it should recognize 
your drives during the boot.  If you'd rather have RH9 instead of FC3, 
configure your SATA controler to emulate old parallel IDE in BIOS, and 
RH9 should see them through this emulation.
