Almost any supported controller will be fine. I'm not sure which would be
bootable though (SRM is such a crapshoot about this).
So, you have QLogic {1X80,12160}, LSI-Logic 895, 896 && 1010, Adaptec 29160.
Of the three, I doubt that the 29160 has been exercised much under
FreeeBSD-alpha. The LSI-Logic cards are fine, and supported pretty well and
are cheap. I of course like the QLogic cards, but the LSI-Logic cards are a
better buy (i.e., more easily available, not only from LSI-Logic or Tekram,
but even small shops like Antares who make a fine set of cards).
