3rd Primary Master for the 1st SATA drive is correct. 1st and 2nd Primary Master are the ones from the IDE channels. It's a bit weird, but ok. Remove the CD drive from Primary Master, this could cause problems, perhaps MacOS expects a harddisk drive on this channel. I don't think OS X regonizes the SATA RAID structure, better remove it. MacOS cares a sh*t about BIOS. I have a DVD-RW-drive connected which is not recognized in BIOS, but I could use it without problems in OS X, even burning is possible. nForce 4 systems are rather common and working fine in OSx86. I have now a working dual-Leopard-system on the board with the 500GB HD which made the same errors as yours. For dual-boot you could use the Windows boot selector, you need only a little program from the OSx86 DVD and some entries in the boot.ini.
Tip: Buy other RAMs. With your configuration you won't get fast Dual-Channel-RAM which extremely increases the performance. You always have to use identical pairs. nForce 4 mainboards support up to 4 GB RAM, but some are switching to DDR333 speed if 4GB are installed. But 2 GB are enough for every normal use. On ebay you can get new Samsung DDR3200-RAMs (2x 1GB bundle) for about 55 Euro including shipping from the USA. They're working without problems on my boards.
