The symlink trick works to make the executable run, but I personally
haven't had any success getting it to actually communicate with the
RAID card.  (Tested with Adaptec 2010S)

Here's a thread on freebsd-scsi where Scott Long basically says
the ASR tools aren't going to work on 5.x without a substantial
overhaul.
