Thanks for the help guys!
Adding the modules to /etc/modules did the job. However, I find it
a bit strange, that during installation, when all modules are loaded
and thus all discs are available, I can make an entry for a SATA disc in
fstab but the installer doesn't add the required modules to either
/etc/modules or the initrd. Shouldn't the installer make sure that 
the scripts are setup in such a way that all the discs are available for
the regular boot procedure.
