I am terribly sorry for myself. The fact is that we ordered Smart Array 431
and the supplier gratefully send us a more expansive model without
additional charge since 431 is now superceded.

I have left with no choice. However, my further research does show that
FreeBSD has support for 532 since FreeBSD-4.6. A bit of consolation there. I
think in the not distant future it will be ported across to NetBSD and
OpenBSD.
