I've no idea.

I actually picked FreeBSD because it supported the JMIRCON device.
I *think* it does, but if I were you I would not rely on that.

I really can't say. Does the RocketRaid controller (which I assume is what is running your array) use the "standard" driver? If so, it should be OK. But I really am not a RAID expert at all, so again you will have to rely on someone more familiar with your hardware to lend a hand.

But this sure sounds like a driver bug, or a subtle interaction of things on your system. For me, the OS either worked or it didn't. Except when I had bad cables (one was on an IDE CD on the JMicron, which I did get to work).
