To see if this was something specific to sysinstall, I installed
4.9-stable (which works fine in detecting everything), cvsupped
RELENG_5_1 went through the buildworld, etc (per UPDATING) and then went
to reboot. With the new kernel in place, (i.e. /boot/default/loader.conf
loads up with 5.1-P13 on screen) the lone drive is once again not found.
Actually the same error from Probe0 occurs, namely data overrun, and the
OS cannot be loaded (no root). Unfortunately, even though I enabled
console redirect in the bios, it stops outputting once the loader starts
(even though I enabled redirect after OS loads) so I don't have a good
capture (I redirect via direct cable to another FreeBSD box running
minicom). 

So it appears that unless this card is configured such that all the
drives on the motherboard are part of the RAID (since it is Zero
channel, changing what controller the drives are connected to is
immaterial), 5.x FreeBSD only sees those drives that are part of a RAID,
and not any solo disks/drives.

Where to go from here?
