I am building a file server off freeBSD, and am wondering if my sata raid controller is supported by the OS. I have the Addonics *4 Port RAID 5 / JBOD SATA II PCI Controller (ADSA4R5) controller host. The chipset is Silicon Image Sil 3124. If this raid card is not supported, can I install drivers once the system is running? Where would I find them for freeBSD?

The supported hardware list is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/hardware.html

But I'll tell ya' the SiL sata chips are junk. FreeBSD will recognize and run with them, but under heavy IO will crash, corrupt data, and other unacceptable things. I think the ata driver developer gave up on the things. In any case, don't even waste time trying to assemble a system with one.
