Installing RedHat 5.2 on a Compaq Prosigna 500

[Long, Steven @ Atlanta Galleria]

I have been given a Compaq Prosigna 500 to install Red Hat Linux 5.2 upon
and I cannot get it to see the SCSI card.  The SCSI system is identified as
Compaq ST3255N and is biased on the NCR 53C710 chip.  I found the chipset on
the list but it will not autodetect it or accept any of the options I give
it.  I have found a patch that is supposed to work.  I saved it as a text
file on my win9x system but since I am new to the Linux world I do not know
how to set it up.  I have searched several internet sites and found I am not
the first person to discover this problem but I have yet to find an answer.
I either need the proper syntax for the options or instructions on how to
change the install disk so I can get started.
