The simple thing to do is boot a FreeBSD install CD and check what it 
sees. Likely to tell you more than you currently know about what the

If sysinstall sees your SATA drives and is willing to install on them 
then its likely you are in business. Then the issue would be managing 
the RAID hardware.
