Booting from a PCI SATA card

I'm trying to boot from a PCI SATA card and it's not working. Here's
what happens.

   1. Grub comes up
   2. It runs through a few lines until it gets to "boot"
   3. The system reboots

I did a quick Google search and found a website that says you can't boot
from a PCI SATA card. It has something to do with the BIOS not seeing
the card/drives. The BIOS is unable to pass the information to linux/grub.

Can someone tell me if this is true? I thought about getting a couple of
IDE drives to boot from but I don't want to spend any money if I don't
have to.

I'll be running a few tests tonight. If I find out anything new I'll
post it on the list.
