Somewhere under floppies/boot.flp.

No use trying it.  The last really functional change to this file
happened in March, 1995.  All other changes since were side-effects of
global modifications to the kernel, or cosmetic things.  I don't know
of any active FreeBSD developer who even owns an aic6[23]60-based SCSI
controller, thus don't expect any development here unless you're doing
it yourself.  (Out of curiosity, since the driver came from NetBSD,
i've also checked their current state; they are not better than we.)
