If I remember correctly, these "pseudo-RAID" chipsets/cards are only
supported as standard ATA100 IDE controllers in FreeBSD at this time, not
as full RAID controllers, as they require software interaction to work. I
seem to remember this being the case for the Highpoint 370 controllers
popular on motherboards.

I could be wrong, of course. Check the hardware compatibility list for the
release you are using.

Mark
