Default GA K8NXP-SLI SATA bios...?

will gigabyte be upgrading the bios on this mobo soon so it can boot to
sata...? i've posted this question a while ago but no-one really had a
clue on the subject.

basically windowsXP install can see sata disks but there's no way with
the bios on this board to select sata or scsi as a boot option, so
windows can never boot regardless of whether it installs or not.

the only option in the bios for hard disk boot order is "bootable add-in
cards". we managed to get scsi showing up in the boot order but that was
in jbod single-raid mode and would blue-screen every windows install.

so like i can't understand how a manufacturer could be so incompetent.
do they really not have a clue about components which go on their own
product..? if if a component is from a 3rd party gigabyte is still
totally responsible for testing to see that the said component doesn't
render the features on their motherboard useless.
