42mb should be fine for more than a few kernels and initrd.img files.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6421323 Jun 25 19:35 vmlinux-2.6.21-2-parisc64-smp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5521413 Jul 3 10:22 initrd.img-2.6.21-2-parisc64-smp
so that's ~12MB. And you can get 3 sets on your /boot.
32-bit UP kernel might be smaller.

I don't think any of the Adaptec drivers have been tested on parisc-linux.
If the driver offers some debug options, it would be interesting to see
the output of modprobe in case the problem is something obvious.
If you are just looking for something that "just works", either the LSI
u320 (53c1030) or slightly older u160 (53c1010) controllers do work.
