Finally found it:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/66JVW/BIOS_Utl.htm#Objects_Menu

look under "emulation"

Now on a Dell Poweredge 1400 with Dell PERC 2/DC I get

amr0 at pci1 dev 10 function 1: AMI RAID <Series 467>
amr0: interrupting at irq 5
amr0: firmware <1.06>, BIOS <1p00>, 64MB RAM
ld0 at amr0 unit 0: RAID 5, optimal
ld0: 17136 MB, 8704 cyl, 64 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 35094528 sectors
