Hmmm ... now I feel stupid.
It's not an Adaptec indeed. Al the BIOS talks about is PERC4e/DC.
The on-board SCSI controller is a LSI 1020/1030.
But no way I can find out yet what it is exactly.
Maybe when I have installed everything I can use lspci.
Anyway, I used scsi2.s ... and it works!
Thanks guys.
Installing now ...
