You shouldn't have to install anything third party. Just configure your array in the accelraid's bios util, and freebsd setup should see the drives. # Compaq Smart RAID, Mylex DAC960 and AMI MegaRAID controllers.

What do you need that isn't working? > I need drivers for Mylex Acceleraid250 (DAC960) on Intel NA440BX.

(note, it also doesn't show any NIC drivers for onboard NIC) MB and Raid card are updated to latest bios and firmware, as of last week.
