The reply I have is no developer has the hardware and they say its too old to bother with. I have an HP NetRaid 1si hardware raid card, running Etch, and it boots just fine. I haven't upgraded to Lenny yet (I'm waiting for a full backup, but need more media). The Lenny installer in rescue mode doesn't see the drives although in install mode it sees them. If at some point you find that Linux stops working for you, for one OpenBSD still supports the megaraid. You may find that the other BSDs do as well.
