The following option is needed for ata raid:

device ataraid

This is also "built-in" to FreeBSD (included in the GENERIC kernel).  As=20
such, your configuration should work out-of-the-box.

I use an HPT370A with RAID 1.  Here is the appropriate section of my=20
kernel config file (modified from GENERIC -- GENERIC works as well):

# ATA and ATAPI devices
device          ata
device          atadisk                 # ATA disk drives
device          ataraid                 # ATA RAID drives
device          atapicd                 # ATAPI CDROM drives
options         ATA_STATIC_ID           #Static device numbering
