The firmware my card came with didn't have a JBOD mode, which is why I flashed the newer firmware. Then I could boot in JBOD mode from a rescue CD and see some drives, though not those that had had RAID-mode metadata written to them, but I couldn't boot the system with GRUB (from drives on another controller).
Cheers,
