Found this old thread and thought I'd add something.

The main thing that I've found with RAID controllers is that it seems to
install fine, but then dies on reboot dropping you to the maintenance
shell.  In the cases I've seen, rebooting without devfs has solved it.
If I know it's a RAID controller I'm installing on, I just pass
devfs=nomount at the install prompt.
