Yes, I understand that AHA-3985 is SCSI HostRAID and that you've SATA one.
But look at the driver for your SATA RAID for Windows. You can find in  
driver's files both 'SATA'/'Serial ATA' and 'SCSI' words. There is  
definitely 'AHA3985' string in .sys file for Windows. Maybe it was remade  
for SATA. Probably FreeBSD hasn't working driver for this SATA HostRAID  
now.
