There is no support for the PERC H200.  I believe Scott Long was working 
on a driver for it, but I do not believe it is ready yet.  You are much 
better off spending the extra hundred dollars or so to get the PERC6/i.  
They are well supported in FreeBSD with the mfi(4) driver and mfiutil(8) 
management utilities.
