What version of FreeBSD are you trying to install ?  I thought 6.2RC2
would work with this controller


HARDWARE
     The twa driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:

     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-4LP
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-8LP
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12MI
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-16ML
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-4LP
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-8LP
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12MI
     o   AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-16ML

I am running with
