system to automatically load the driver, type in the following commands:
# echo ’rr2644_load=”YES”’ >> /boot/defaults/loader.conf

Now, reboot the system. RR2644 module should be automatically loaded each time
system start up.
Note: If FreeBSD you installed is 4.x version, you should type the following com-
mand to configure your system:
# mknod /dev/rr2644 c 200 0

Step 4 Configure the System to Mount Volumes at Startup
Now you can inform the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file
/etc/fstab. E.g. You can add the following line to tell the system to mount /dev/da1s1e

/dev/da1s1e /mnt/hpt ufs rw 0 0

To update the driver with a new version you simply reinstall the driver following the
previous section, “Install the driver on an existing system”.

hard disks and RAID arrays attached to RR2644 controller. Installation of the manage-
ment software is optional but recommended.
