The hptmv driver works only with RR182x and i386.

I do. You can use the binary drivers from Highpoint's website. Currently 
the RR1640 works fine for me with FreeBSD 5.4 and RAID 5.

Until January 2004, I had some minor problems with FreeBSD's *built-in* 
support for the Highpoint chipsets using SATA hard disk drives. I don't 
know if it works properly now; I guess it does not.
