Sabrent 4 port sata/150 controller card

[jaymax]

How should I install a Sabrent 4 port sata/150 raid pci controller card on an i386 platform, beyond insertion in the pci slot?

What line should show up in the dmesg file?
There are 2 pci slots on my MOBO:
I'm seeing -

pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge>
pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0
-
-
pcib1: <PCI-PCI bridge>
pci1: <PCI bus> on pcib1

Is this what is expected?

What should show up for attached SATA discs?
I would have expected something (some naming directive) that I could format and lay down a ufs on.

You should be seeing lines that start with ata or ahci if the controller is recognized properly. Post the output of pciconf -lv.
