All i can tell you:
We've got another box with an AIC6260. It's running under DOS for
some other reason, and runs fine there. (The SCSI disk is the only
disk.) But any attempt to boot a BSD (with either the old `as' driver,
or Julian's driver) didn't recognize the SCSI adaptor - so you'll
need to get some more h/w info (from Adaptec?), and should eventually
consult julian@dialix.oz.au before starting off.
