Much thanks to Dr. Tom Blinn!

To get my Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller recognized by the kernel I had to do
the following:

1) Modify the kernel config file (/sys/conf/<system_name>) by adding the
following line:

    config_driver aha_chim

2) Modify the file '/usr/sys/data/pci_option_data.c' with the following
entry (where a comment states to add custom controllers):

    { 0x210, 0x9005, 0x80, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
             1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
        "aha_chim", 'A', 0},

* The first 3 fields in that entry I gathered from the kernel's output in
'/usr/adm/messages' after I installed the card.

Then I rebuilt the kernel (doconfig -c <system_name>), installed the new
kernel, and rebooted. Shazam! The kernel recognized the card.

On to the next challenge.
