The hptmv driver works only with RR182x and i386.

I do. You can use the binary drivers from Highpoint's website. Currently
the RR1640 works fine for me with FreeBSD 5.4 and RAID 5.
Until January 2004, I had some minor problems with FreeBSD's *built-in*
support for the Highpoint chipsets using SATA hard disk drives. I don't
know if it works properly now; I guess it does not.
