You should read the *BSD newsgroup more often :-)

Extract from the FreeBSD FAQ:
------------------------------------------------------------
2.5:  Does FreeBSD support the AHA-2742 SCSI adapter from Adaptec?

No, FreeBSD does not.  This is due to Adaptec's unwillingness to
supply programming information under other than non-disclosure.  This
is unfortunate, but there's nothing we can do about it.
