Just got confirmation from Jason this is going to be in the Aros 68K Kickstart ext rom to allow pci enabled Classic machines to boot off of sata drives.

And, 6 months later, it's finally in the tree.

Still needs some debugging on real hardware, and some hotplug support, but it appears to work fine in QEMU.
