I just checked, and the installer supports my promise 20376 just fine.
It didn't autodetect it, but choosing the "Add Driver" menu, selecting 
sata_promise from list of drivers and the drives got detected just nicely.

So basically hwdata should be updated (read: someone needs to do a patch
and bugzilla it :-) ), but you definately should be able to do an
install without any special tricks.
