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 ..

do_config(9r)															     do_config(9r)

NAME
do_config - EISA/ISA: Initializes the device to its assigned configuration SYNOPSIS
void do_config( struct controller *ctlr_p ); ARGUMENTS
Specifies a pointer to the controller structure associated with the controller to be configured. The do_config routine obtains the device to initialize through its controller's associated controller structure pointer. DESCRIPTION
The do_config routine initializes the specified controller based on its power-up resource assignments. If the device uses either an inter- rupt or a DMA channel, then do_config also performs any setup requirements. For example, for controllers that connect to the EISA bus, do_config initializes the controller according to the parameters specified in the EISA configuration file. NOTES
The do_config routine is a generic interface that maps to a bus-specific interface that actually initializes the specified device. Using this routine to initialize a device makes the driver more portable across different bus architectures. Not all buses support the do_config routine. RETURN VALUES
None SEE ALSO
Routines: get_config(9r), get_info(9r) Data Structures: controller(9s) do_config(9r)
