amd64 and tx2000 compatibility

[mcomb at softcoin.com]

Apologies for replying to my own thread.  The tx2000 seems to work fine 
if I just use it as an IDE adapter, but as soon as I stripe or span the 
drives attached to it and reboot I get the crashing behavior described 
below.  If anybody has tips for getting this working I'd really 
appreciate it.  I've already made sure the RAID controller bios (and 
motherboard bios) is up to date.

As a fallback I am wondering if built-in RAID on my motherboard (ABIT 
AV8 3rd Eye) is supported?  It is SATA and I don't have any SATA drives 
to try it with, but I could probably dig up some adapters if it would 
get this working.

Also, for what it is worth, this same controller and drives worked 
great on a different 32 bit FreeBSD system for the last year.
