AFAIK, your RocketRAID should be picked up by the 'twe' driver.

If you run a FreeBSD install disk (as opposed to boot-only), are you
provided with an install location (via sysinstall) as far as hard disks
are concerned?

Is this RAID array something that you can afford to risk losing through
troubleshooting?
