Open (and Free) BSD with Jmicron 20339 USB <-> SATA II chipset

Hello!

Some time ago I did something stupid, I bought 4 harddisk cases (sata -> USB) without checking enough if it is supported by my choise of OS.
I was thinking of using FreeBSD on my new NAS (a sunblade 100), but after discovering that is didn't work, I started to search for information.
I found an article saying that Linux had som problems with Jmicron chipset, and this was also concerning FreeBSD (according to the information).

I then tried with OpenBSD, with more success than on FreeBSD, but not successfully enough.

Is there any one of you that knows more than me abouth this chipset and the BSD systems? Is there a way to get the disks to work?
And if not, is there anyone of you that know of a Linux Distribution that support the Jmicron 20339 chipset, AND have support for the sparc64 arcitecture?

I would appriciate any help you can give me, I'm getting desperate (and too much of my hair is turning grey now!).

Thanks in advance!

Ps.
And if someone answers "UBUNTU!" for the linux question, could you please tell me where to find an iso image? I havn't found any at all. =(
DS.
