I've got one of those, too.

You shouldn't have to use that port at all.  You configure it using
the various jumpers on the board.  The documentation should show all
the various possibilities.

Being a SCSI to MSCP converter, it should "just work".  However, in my
experience it doesn't work with -current; a recent /boot won't, and
the old /boot I'm using will happily load -current kernels, but they
don't work with the controller.
