Look at chapter two, section three of the handbook 

(http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-hw.html)

The line you are probably interested in:

With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for SCSI-I
and SCSI-II peripherals, including hard disks, optical disks, tape drives
(including DAT and 8mm Exabyte), medium changers, processor target
devices, and CDROM drives.
