-GNU Mach does not support SATA disk drives (/dev/sda etc. in GNU/Linux) natively, so using device:sd0s1 will not work, sd* devices are for SCSI drives only. The only way to get those drives to work is to put them into compatibility mode in the BIOS, if such an option exists. GNU Mach will then recognize them as hda etc.
