Oops, sorry, I didn't see this part. If the SATA
drivers are loaded when LiveCD boots it should see the
drive. I'm currently having a tussle w/ a SATA drive
myself(mostly resolved)
from dmesg:
...

Does the drive show up in the POST? If not there I
don't think gentoo will see it either.
If you run lsmod after LiveCD boots you'll see what
drivers it loaded.
