Chet,

Like most hardware devices, you need the right software driver before
you can use it. I'm far more familiar with Red Hat than with SuSE, but
check your /var/lib/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/scsi directory for
the driver for your controller. If you can specify that driver during
installation, your RAID array should appear as a single /dev/sda device.
