The firmware probably has no clue what an adapter card is. It does know
what that specific qlogic card is. Any firmware on the adaptec would be
x86 code, and hence of no use to the alpha. I highly doubt you will be
able to boot from the adaptec, although once booted I think linux should
be able to use it just fine.
