> Does FreeBSD 8 support the Dell H700 RAID controller? We've been using a 3Ware controller but may need to switch to this controller. What we'd like to have is a command line interface similar to the tw_cli command so we can create RAID sets on a booted system instead of doing it in the BIOS.

I'm not sure about the H700, but for the PERC5 and PERC6 (previous 
models...) you can use mfiutil(8) to manage the adapter and 
create/configure/destroy RAID sets on FreeBSD 8.   It's actually pretty 
nice in comparison to MegaCLI - the LSI provided management utility.
