Hmm, perhaps it's similar to the 2910B???  The 2910B will work under
FreeBSD; it is a 7850-based controller that doesn't come with a BIOS,
but with a DOS-based tool for setting the serial EEPROM.  If the 2902
is similarly based on the 78xx chipsets, it should work, but perhaps
a few quick hacks to add new PCI device IDs to sys/pci/aic7870.c.
