You can build a 6.0 or 5.4 kernel if you really want, with the 3ware drivers, but 6.0-beta4 is just as good, probably better. Or wait for 6.1 You get the 3ware drivers from the freebsd cvsup. 3ware had some brains at least, they do not host their freebsd drivers on their own ftp server, they use the cvs server for FreeBSD.
