Combo cards are not supported in FreeBSD or in PAO.

Multiple controllers are not supported in FreeBSD, although they may be
supported in newer versions of PAO (I don't know).  I know that Fred
Templin was working on them.

See item 2.

So they supported multiple controllers, cool!

I suspect the multiple controller support in PAO isn't fully debugged
(duh!).
