Maybe not too much help here but we're running a Dell PowerEdge 2850 
with a MD1000
attached. Although we don't use that particular RAID controller. Here's 
some of dmesg:

amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.53> mem 
0xd81f0000-0xd81fffff,0xdfdc0000-0xdfdfffff i
rq 46 at device 14.0 on pci2
amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller
amr0: <LSILogic PERC 4e/Di> Firmware 521X, BIOS H430, 256MB RAM
mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xd80f0000-0xd80fffff,0xdfae0000-0xdfafffff 
irq 18 at
device 14.0 on pci5

The machine is running FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE
