FreeBSD 7.0 w/ 9650SE-24M8 no JBOD disks

I just installed FreeBSD 7.0 w/ a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 controller.
I set the controller to export JBOD disks but they don't show up in FreeBSD for some reason.
I have verified that they do show up in CentOS so I don't think the controller is setup wrong.
If I create an array it will show up in FreeBSD as da0. I have tried disabling the onboard
sata controller as well to see if that made a difference. Also I couldn't find anything else
in the kernel that might pertain to this. BTW I had to use the onboard sata controller for the 
install because the disks were not showing up.
