Only devices that use the SATA framework (Marvell, Silicon Image,
and others - I don't remember the full list) use the SCSI emulation
required to make this work.

No, but your SATA HBA must be one of those supported by the SATA
framework. Otherwise it will operate in PATA legacy mode and the
information will not be available.
Thanks. I don't know anything about SATA yet, so this helps. From a
little research, it looks like the Solaris SATA framework is doing the
SCSI emulation for the OS, and it requires a driver designed for that
framework to talk to the SATA controller chip.
I have an Asus M2NPV-VM, which uses the nVIDIA nForce 430 for SATA
3Gb/s. Unfortunately, this page suggests that it runs in legacy mode:

Where can I find the full list of supported controllers for Solaris SATA
HBA? If I buy SATA drives, I might buy another controller too (altho
not if I lose ZFS boot).
Cheers,
