        /* Thanks to mark@aggregate.com for the new method for detecting

Try it and find out.

The 6260 is a very brain damaged chip.  In any case, they don't come with
boot ROMs, so it's unlikely that you will be able to boot any OS using it.

If you are using  one to install FreeBSD onto a second controller, then you
are probably SOL unless you can get DOS to boot off the thing too.
