I have followed what little there is at...
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hptiop&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hptiop&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE 
All 3 device statements are in the /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC file, by
default.
I put the hptiop_load="YES" statement into the /boot/loader.conf file.

Their user manual is at...

But, it only has instructions up to FreeBSD 6.1, and they don't seem to
apply any more to the 7.x version, which has the hptiop(4) driver in the
GENERIC kernel.  In other words, their instructions for a driver diskette
are meaningless.

I was led to believe that these cards were compatible with all modern
versions of FreeBSD, especially since it's on the hardware compatibility
list...
