Not so.  FC2 installed out of the box (so to speak) without a hitch on  
my SATA/Promise MB.  Needless to say, its been booting just fine since  
then.  It is true that SATA support was missing in FC1, as it was first  
available in the 2.6 kernel.  SATA drivers use /dev/sd? for the disks,  
of course.
