Depending on the BIOS, it may list SATA devices in an entirely seperate location from the old fashioned (P)ATA/IDE ones, or possible not at all.
'primary' and 'secondary' IDE only describe which IDE controller they're hooked up to, and the master/slave is a somewhat arbitrary setting as well. You can boot a system just fine from a secondary slave for that matter. Just traditionally your main boot device is your primary master, but that's not the only thing that works.
