Hi Hanno,

Last time I checked the x86 target does not include the drivers for SATA ports. 
The only way I've been able to get it work is by building a custom kernel.

1. make kernel_menuconfig

2. Device Drivers --> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers --> AHCI SATA Support

Press "y" on both the "Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers" and "AHCI SATA 
Support" then exit and save and rebuilt the image.
