Parameters
----------
The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS
The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS
setup. If there is no EEPROM, the driver uses default values.
Both can be overridden by command line parameters (module or kernel
parameters).

The following parameters are available:

- safe
safe
Default: 0, Acceptable values: 0 or 1

If safe is set to 1 then the adapter will use conservative
("safe") default settings. This sets:

This driver works, but is still in experimental status. So better
have a bootable disk and a backup in case of emergency.
