I found out how to fix this, the problem is that they havn't developed the driver yet for the 454 card... But you can use 404 driver's but without Raid 5 support (the weird part is that they mention the driver in their online manual).

http://rmd.mine.nu/~c4/hpt-driver/hpt374-5.0.ko
copy the file to /modules/ and rename it to hpt374.ko

Add it to /boot/loader.conf (this is the location in freebsd 4.8 atleast)
hpt374_load="YES"

When you reboot you will have them listed as da0 da1 da2...
If you have an raid0 you'll have da0 that is the raid size... nifty
And I get better speeds now... 50MB/s+ with 10% cpu used... abit much cpu usage but atleast it works

Hello Tobias,

I have a RocketRaid 454 Controller. FreeBSD does not support the Raid
funktion or I've a Problem, but the Controller was correctly listed. I
use FreeBSD 5.0 and all Arrays (Mirror and Raid 5) was listed as normal
Drives (ad4 & ad5 ...). All Arrays was not listed.

At www.highpoint-tech.com is no Driver for FreeBSD available.

Now I search a Driver or a FreeBSD Kerneloption for this Card.
Have you everything read about this problem?

Thanks

Torsten Jensen
