Load new drivers during install

[Hunter Pine]

The DAC960 drivers are built into the generic kernel. You shouldn't have to
install anything third party. Just configure your array in the accelraid's
bios util, and freebsd setup should see the drives.

# Compaq Smart RAID, Mylex DAC960 and AMI MegaRAID controllers.  Only
# one entry is needed; the code will find and configure all supported
# controllers.
#
device          ida             # Compaq Smart RAID
device          mlx             # Mylex DAC960
device          pst             # Promise Supertrak SX6000
device          amr             # AMI MegaRAID

I need drivers for Mylex Acceleraid250 (DAC960) on Intel NA440BX.
It is listed as a supported card on the site, but it doesn't give me any
such drivers to select at install. (note, it also doesn't show any NIC
drivers for onboard NIC)
MB and Raid card are updated to latest bios and firmware, as of last week.

Thanks,
-Mike
