When our config had the right cable backwards, the Promise on-board setup 
ROM showed both drives' model numbers and both as UDMA6, so we assumed the 
cable was correctly installed, FreeBSD installed and ran correctly, etc, 
etc.  It took us while to give up and pull the box out the rack and look 
inside.
