    WE56350, Made in Malaysia (2x)
  S823781B, S Z840, L1A7901, NNG 9328, WK51070, Made in Hong Kong
* BIOS: Award Software Inc., ISA/PCI 586 Mercury, S/N:009159627 V

* Phoenix S3 Vision864 (16Bit DAC) Enhanced VGA BIOS. Version 1.03-02
* NCR53C810 PCI-SCSI controller
* SCSI Disk: Hewlett Packard C2490A-300, 2033Mb, SCSI-ID 00
* SCSI Disk: Hewlett Packard C2235-300, 402Mb, SCSI-ID 01 (used for swap)
* ELAN Ethernet-card (NE200 comp.)
* Two modems (hayes comp.) on cuaa0 and cuaa1 (normal serial I/O ports
  are disabled)

I have FreeBSD 2.0 installed on this system, so here are the boot-messages:

What version of driver do I need for the NCR 53C810 PCI-SCSI controller. And 
if I FTp such a driver, how do I get it installed on the boot-floppy-disk, 
so I can FDisk and Disklabel the harddrives?

Thanks!
