looking at the patch, you can do the following :

rm /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c.o
open /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c in your fav. editor
search for "FL" (with quotes)

and add the lines with the + signs in front in between where it is
suppose to go (following the above url)

another option :

copy and paste the proposed patch into a file e.g. called
/usr/src/patch1 

cd /usr/src
patch < patch1
