If you must have RH9 and SATA, you'll have to go to your SATA controller
vendor's website and see if they have a driver disk for RH9.  If they
do, download it to a floppy following their instructions, then install
RH9 using this command at the "boot:" command

	linux dd

When the installer asks for the driver disk, pop the floppy into the
drive and hit ENTER.

You'd be much better off with FC2 or FC3, both of which have native
SATA support..  RH9 is a dead operating system.  It reached end of life
in April of 2004.
