Yes, because that was how it was during the debian installer. Think the
BIOS compatibility/AHCI switch as "I unplug the disk from a IDE plug,
and plug it into an AHCI plug". Obviously you have to update the
software, so it knows where to find the disk.

You will have to do that at some point to achieve the transition, but
since gnumach complains that it can't drive the device, it won't work
anyway.

Really, as I said it's the warning I quoted that you need to address to
get things working. When GNU shows you something like

sd0: sd0s1 <sd0s5>

it will mean that the drive started working. But before that it's
completely useless to update fstab, and worse: it will prevent you from
booting in IDE mode.
