If you've configured or enabled a RAID setup in the BIOS, then ar0 ought to be 
the device you should use.

If you are trying to install to a drive in normal, non-RAID mode, then ad0 (if 
you have it) would be the choice.  If you've got static ATA numbering enabled 
in the kernel and you've got no parallel ATA devices attached, only SATA, then 
ad4 might be right.
