>Description:
I've bought a Promise FastTrak TX4310 because I thought that it will be supported by FreeBSD's ata/ar driver...:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-stable&format=html

I've updated the controller's BIOS to the newest available v2.5.1.3116:
http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productID=165&category=all&os=100

And there are two Seagate ST3300622AS connected to the controller with RAID0.

But if I boot from a 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc then I only get an ad6 and an ad10 device and no arX device... :-(((
So I can't use them in RAID0 mode...

Can anyone of you help me?

 Try 7.0-RELEASE instead of a version that is no longer supported and 
 start looking from there. Also ask around on the questions@freebsd.org 
 mailinlist, instead of opening up a PR instantly before you know
 what is going on
 
 goodluck!
