 Personally, I maintain a FreeBSD 3.4 machine with the SmartRaid IV card
with 32 megs of cache on it driving 6 IBM 9Gig LZX drives and all I did
was uncomment the DPT lines in the kernel's config, compile, and go.

 I configured the DPT's software for RAID 5, booted into FreeBSD, created
a drive under /raid, disklabel, newfs.

 Its been working flawlessly for 8 months now.
