Unfortunately, the SATA controller is unsupported and consequently unrecognized. I was able to boot the system using USB installation but the local storage is not available for VMs :-( VM-help.com has been useful for trying to modify the oem.tgz files to work with the configured SATA controller but I’ve had little success. Come visit us at the New innovators boot #1438N. A nice reward for anyone that can make it work!

BTW, had to go with Hyper-V for the time being… It installed flawlessly since Windows drivers are available. :-(
