We have installed the very same product on one of our FreeBSD boxen, it was 4.4-STABLE when we ran the install program, and every thing went smooth. I believe this was before softupdates was enabled by default. Perhaps when you are creating your mount points you could try disabling softupdates and see if that makes a difference. As a side note (that you might want to know), I don't believe that the driver in FreeBSD supports hot swap. At least any time we've had a drive fail, we get a kernel panic, and it's rebuild mirror from the card's BIOS.
