I just spent some time looking around HP's site.  I would guess that your
problem relates to the "HP TopTools" HW/SW that you have.  They(TopTools)
look like proprietary HW that monitors and configs the server through a
standard browser interface.  In other words, it is only halfway open......

HP currently only offers drivers for DOS, NT, SCO, Novell, OS/2 and
Unixware.  To repeat : your problem isn't RAID - its HP.

That being said, I did a GOOGLE search which turned up "My HP Netserver's
SCSI controller is not detected!" in a FreeBSD FAQ.
(http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:freebsd-faq.tech-nic.dk/FAQ65.html)
Maybe it will help....
