We can use the Promise Ultra/33 controller on FreeBSD, but it is a slightly
odd device.  It reports that it is a raid device and not eide.  It works
great with my WD 5.1GB drive though.  I cannot see any performance liability
of using it instead of the PIIX3 on my MB. 

The DMA configuration is a little different than standard also, but only
requires a few minor mods.  In general, it is a great card, with
personality :-).
