I don't understand you problem. If you want have two raid volume under you Smart Array there are no problem to FreeBSD to use it. Don't forget with a scsi card (raid or not) it's the scsi controller to inform the OS what disk you have. It's not the OS. Then if you OS (like FreeBSD) have right driver to use your SmartArray there no problem. But don't forget if you use FreeBSD under ML serie (like me) you can not use the HP linux software to manage (and watching) your hardware.
