OK here's a nice picture (screenshot) I was able to capture that
pretty well sums it up.
Driver is NOT the problem.
I think the only way I'm going to be able to install OI on this, is
by plugging my sata drive into a USB adapter, and install it there.
Then after installation. Plug the drive back into the sata port on
the MB. I thought OI had better sata support. It clearly understands
the controller.
Well. They say a Picture paints a thousand words:

Your picture shows that it's using the nv_sata driver for the disk
controller, not the ahci driver. Are you able to configure the disk
controllers into AHCI mode? Doing that might fix your problem. Most
systems use the ahci driver now. Here's how mine looks in OI:
<mills@qtpie:1324>$ prtconf -D
...
pci1b21,1062, instance #0 (driver name: ahci)
disk, instance #2 (driver name: sd)
disk, instance #5 (driver name: sd)
disk, instance #3 (driver name: sd)
disk, instance #4 (driver name: sd)
As you can see, it uses two drivers, one for the controller and one
for the disks. Here's how my disks look in OI:

Thanks for your input, Gary.
I don't have a specific setting for ahci. As a rule, when available,
I choose that. But it's simply not available.
Here's the output for mine

Sorry for the long output to prtconf -D. But wasn't sure if it
wouldn't be interesting.
Thanks again for your input, Gary! :-)
