It looks like the 5.2.1 release notes just list the driver name and the
generic device type:

AMI MegaRAID Express and Enterprise family RAID controllers ( amr(4) driver)

But if you click on the amr(4) link, the manpage does list "Dell PERC
4/Di" as one of the cupported controllers, so it is supported on
FreeBSD 5.x.
