Check setup.  SATA will show up as either of ATA mode or SCSI.  Don't
bother with "RAID" in the setup.  When happy, save BIOS settings and
reboot (don't forget to put your install disk in the CDROM drive --
you did make the CDROM the first bootable drive, right?).

(Note: the above is probably unnecessary, you can likely just go for it.)

Do a normal Linux install.
