Hello,

Use the binary driver from HighPoint

http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS%20%2B%20Driver/rr454/FreeBSD/374-r5-bsd-v122.tgz

Though the latest kernel module is intended for 5.3-RELEASE it should 
work with 5.4-RELEASE. I have the SATA counterpart of this controller 
and it does. It might be necessary to install the controller BIOS which 
comes with the tarball or you'll get a blank screen while booting FreeBSD.

If you follow the instruction of the PDF file in this package then the 
RAID array should finally be recognized as da0 device.

Regards Björn
