 when I wanted to use Ultra-SCSI drives on the Alpine/Qlogic. The
 FreeBSD/alpha kernel can be compiled to include a much newer Qlogic firmware
 revision. This is not the default because it adds hundreds of kBytes worth
 of bloat to the kernel. All of this might mean that you need to use a
 of bloat to the kernel. In FreeBSD 4.1 and later the isp firmware is contained
 in a kernel loadable module. All of this might mean that you need to use a
 non-Qlogic adapter to boot from.
