Hi,
I have located the booting problems in sys/boot/i386/loader/main.c. I applied this code change (to 9.0-current) to get the boot output attached:
Attached are the photos of one SATA drive connected to the 3114 (normal (?) boot) and four SATA drives connected to the 3114.
The one drive connected case is kind of weird, because disk0 is the disk connected to SATA1 of the mainboard (the one I'm booting from), disk1 is the one disk connected to the Sil3114 and the disk connected to sata0 of the mainboard is missing.
Looks like the D525MW bios is so broken, that it can not handle more than two HD drives.
