FreeBSD Driver Support

If the module has been loaded successfully you should see the RR2644 banner and a

display screen of the attached drives. You can now access the drives as a SCSI device

(if you have no other SCSI device, the first device is /dev/da0, then /dev/da1, etc.).

Example:

F1 FreeBSD

Default: F1

Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader

Note: If you have configured a RAID 1/0 using 4 disks, it will be registered to system

as device /dev/da0. You can use “/stand/sysinstall” to create partitions and

disklabels (like da0s1e) on da0. Then you can create new filesystem using “newfs /

dev/da0s1e”. Now you can mount /dev/da0s1e to somewhere to access it.

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

Most likely, you will not want to type “load rr2644” each time you boot up the

system.Therefore you must install the module and tell the system about it. To config-
