How to change raid controller driver ? (hardware change)

Hello
I'm trying to virtualize an instance of Sco Unix 5.0.5 in VirtualBox (called VM-A) , but sco I have problems set to launch with the new raid controller .
The physical machine has a raid controller adaptec (alad driver) but VirtualBox uses buslogic (blc driver)
What I'm doing is starting a Sco Unix 5.0.5 guest (called VM-B ) installed from the beginning (to use blc driver), then the second record mount as physical pc (generated with dd) .
For reference call diskB: VM-B guest disk and diskA : used by VM-A (generated with the dd command from the physical computer ).
The steps performed are:

mount /dev/rootmay /mnt/rootmay # mount diskA
mount /dev/bootmay /mnt/rootmay/stand # mount of diskA boot
chroot /mnt/rootmay /bin/sh # chroot on diskA
mkdir fd0
mount / dev/fd0 / fd0
/etc/btldinstall /fd0 # I install driver blc

edit /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi of the form:
blc Srom 0 1 0 0
blc Sdsk 0 0 0 0


These steps have made ​​reading and collecting things in different forums , I'm not sure if they are all necessary steps are correct or if all (I have been layered to find documentation )
Like something strange , the file /etc/default/scsihas in diskA no line ' blc " BusLogic Multi Master Adapters" ' but diskB if so, what makes me assume that I'm doing things right ,
Then when I start the VM-B (primcipal diskA y secondary diskB) seems to start the kernel VM-A because I changed the name of the hostname , but will not let me login (as it starts inconsistent and buggy)

when I start the VM- A, still fails stating the eror :

WARNING : no root disk controller hd
H iinit
Panic: srmountfun - Error 19 mounting rootdev ( 1/42 )
Error 19 opening dumpdev ( 1/41 )
Dump not completed

What am I doing wrong? you can change the driver blc alad by the way I'm doing ?


Thanks for getting up here ..

NAME
icp -- ICP-Vortex and Intel Storage RAID driver SYNOPSIS
icp* at pci? dev ? function ? ld* at icp? unit ? icpsp* at icp? unit ? scsibus* at icpsp? DESCRIPTION
The icp driver provides support for the newer (post 1997) ICP-Vortex GDT and Intel Storage RAID controllers. The ld driver provides access to logical devices (disk arrays) presented by the controller. The icpsp driver provides direct access to other SCSI devices attached to the controller, such as tape or CD-ROM drives. DIAGNOSTICS
pci_mem_find: expected mem type 00000000, found 00000002 This message may be displayed during autoconfiguration if the controller's memory is mapped below 1MB in physical address space. This can be disabled either through changing a setting in the controller's BIOS utility, or changing the position of a jumper on the board. See your controller's documentation for more information. SEE ALSO
intro(4), ld(4), scsi(4) HISTORY
The icp driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6, and was based on the FreeBSD and OpenBSD drivers of the same name. BUGS
ISA & EISA front-ends and a management interface are needed. Older PCI boards are not yet supported. BSD
