Does debian support sata 750GB hard drive?

[Michael Kerwin]

I have built a Pentium core duo computer and can get debian to boot from the
cd if it is an ide parallel drive but when I try it with a 750GB SATA drive
it get to the point where it will try to boot from the cd rom and it can't.
I saw that someone had a problem with this before. I am trying to boot with
the debian 3.1r5 netinstall for i386. Has the Sata problem been fixed yet?
