Hello Subhro,
Thanks for your help. From the link I have the following files:
ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz (2k)
ata-mk3m.diff-releng5.gz (2k)
ata-mk3m.tar.gz (100k)
ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz (113k)
ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz (2k)
Which file should I be using? Is 'current' better than 'releng5'? Do I also
need to download a pair of files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz with
ata-mk3m.tar.gz?
Sorry, but I am quite confused with kernal patching. Recompiling yes, but
never patched in my life.

Hello Gheorghe,
I read with interest your success in getting your Adaptec 1210SA to work
on FreeBSD. In your email you wrote that you downloaded patches to the
driver code (and recompiled the kernel?) from
http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA
I downloaded the files myself, but am not sure how to proceed from
there. Can you please give me some pointers on the next steps?
Appreciate your help, thanks!

The general way to patch a driver is patch -p0 < patch_file. The patch
file is to be copied in the first level directory of the source code.
Thanks

You need to read the handbook. Read through the chapter describing the
different trees of development. If you want to run the OS on a
production box I would recommend stable. Current is only for developers.
BTW, your mail client indents the replies incorrectly. I can see that
you are using Microsoft Outlook 6.0. I would recommend get Thunderbird.
It's a much better client alltogether.
Thanks
S.
