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.

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.
