Yeah, 2.0 doesn't recognize these things.

The latest "SNAP" disks on freebsd.cdrom.com support the controller and
all of its AIC7770 based relatives just fine.  Get them using anonymous
FTP and write them out as if writing the images from the CDROM.

Make sure you use binary mode on the transfer, and get the ungzipped
versions or you will need gunzip to be able to use them.
