Hmm. I installed 4.4-RELEASE on my system with a Maxtor ATA-100 card (it's got a Promise chip and the Promise driver works perfectly, unlike on Linux where I couldn't even use the card), and I've had no problem. I disabled the onboard-controller, moved the drives, then booted the 4.4-RELEASE install cd. Set up both disks (in "dangerously-dedicated" mode[1]) as ad4* and ad6* and everything "just worked".
