Why don't you look at the README.BusLogic file?
I cut and paste here anyway.
INSTALLATION
This distribution was prepared for Linux kernel version 2.0.29, but
should be
compatible with 2.0.4 or any later 2.0 series kernel.
To install the new BusLogic SCSI driver, you may use the following
commands,
replacing "/usr/src" with wherever you keep your Linux kernel source
tree:
cd /usr/src
tar -xvzf BusLogic-2.0.9.tar.gz
mv README.* LICENSE.* BusLogic.[ch] FlashPoint.c linux/drivers/scsi
patch -p < BusLogic.patch
cd linux
make config
make depend
make zImage
Then install "arch/i386/boot/zImage" as your standard kernel, run lilo
if
appropriate, and reboot.
Be sure to answer "y" to the "BusLogic SCSI support" query during the
"make
config" step. If your system was already configured for the old
BusLogic
driver or for an older version of this driver, you may omit the "make
config"
step above.
