case, please remove the CD, reboot from the installed system and load the driver
manually from floppy again when booting from controller. After system boots up you
can run the postinstall script to install the driver.
3 - Installing RR2644 Driver on an Existing System
If you are currently running FreeBSD and would like to access drives or arrays
attached to the RR2644 Controller, you can perform the following steps.
Step 1 Copy the Driver Module
If you have made freebsd drivers into a diskette, you can insert the driver diskette to
floppy drive, then using the following commands to copy the driver module:
for FreeBSD 4.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2644-xxx.ko /modules/rr2644.ko
# umount /mnt
for FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp/mnt/rr2644-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2644.ko
# umount /mnt
You can also extract the files from .img files directly, without using a floppy diskette:
For FreeBSD 4.x:
# vnconfig vn0c rr2644-7.0.img
# mount /dev/vn0c /mnt vnconfig vn0c rr2644-7.0.img
# cp /mnt/rr2644-xxx.ko /modules/rr2644.ko
# vnconfig –du vn0c myfilesystem mount=/mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x:
# mdconfig –a –t vnode –f rr2644-7.0.img –u 0
# mount /dev/md0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2644-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2644.ko
# umount /mnt
# mdconfig –d –u md0
Step 2 Test the Driver Module
You can test out the module to ensure that it works for your system by load it during
system booting.
