My underdtanding of things is that SATA 1 doesn't allow for "slaves"
so there can be only one disk per port, though there are 2 ports
(k2-sata0 and k2-sata1).

SATA 2 supports some "extender" mecanism where you can hook more
disks, but I don't think we have to care about this yet and it's
not a SATA 2 chipset anyway :)
