I'm not even sure the HPDA flavor of cards is supported by FreeBSD to
begin with.  I hooked up my HPDA DAC960PL to a 4.0-STABLE box (cvsup'd
last night) today and during bootup I get:

mlx0: <Mylex version 2 RAID interface> port 0xdc80-0xdcff irq 11 at
device 13.0 on pci0
mlx0: couldn't allocate mailbox window
device_probe_and_attach: mlx0 attach returned 6

The card and cable are good, they were last used with Win2K about two
weeks ago.  The disk cabinet (an HP "Disk Array" 5x1GB) I'm not sure
about, though.  When trying to initialize the array with Jetset, the HP
DOS tool, and it just hangs there trying to do an inquiry on the drives.
