it made sense when the init step was automatic. but you're telling me users of your board are incapable of looking at it and going "hmm, this has a SATA disk" ? it isnt like disks are tiny and they have to scan a board for some obscure IC. disks are friggin huge.
It doesn't matter how big it is, if it's in some remote board farm -- or if I'm considering adding a disk, and I want to see if the board is configured to use those pins for SATA or for something else (and thus whether I need to dig out the board manual and look at DIP switch configuration).
What harm does the check do?
