The RAID controller handles addressing to the physical disks. After hardware RAID is set up (through the controllers firmware) you should be able to go about installing the operating system normaly, asuming you have a supported chipset. You would need to check the hardware compatibility list at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/hw.html So you are saying any supported hardware RAID5 controller can be booted? For some reason, I thought there were previous issues with this. But maybe that was Vinum? I dunno...
