Support for PERC4/Ei RAID controller?

We just got in a new Dell PowerEdge 2850 (with the new Nocona chip), but the FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE installer is complaining about not finding any hard drives. I'm pretty sure I've created the RAID 5 array correctly (Same as I did on our 1750 and 2600, but those use the PERC4/Di and everything went smoothly with the install). Then I notice that the 2850 uses the PERC4/Ei controller, and I haven't been able to find any references to it (even on Google). 

Suggestions? (Maybe I'd better start looking at network boot till support gets added?)

Thanks

Bucky
