I am having a problem with a newly aquired server and its Adaptec 2610sa Raid Controller Card.

Using to onboard configuration I have made mirrored drives which have been verified but when I try installing FreeBSD 5.3 its days I have no drives to which it can install the operating system.

I did a little research and it seems that FreeBSD 5.3 does not support the Adaptec 2610sa Serial Raid Controller Drivers and cannot see the mirrored array.

Now I can accross this post where It looks like you can patch a file which enables the Adaptec 2610sa.

Fix:

Now I was wondering how I would be able to make a set of boot floppies and or cd that can see the array and whether or not this patch actually will work.
