After the driver has been loaded, remove the floppy diskette from the floppy
drive.

6.

Type in “boot” and continue with installation as normal. Refer to FreeBSD

installation guide for additional information.

ok boot

Note: On some systems, when ACPI is enabled, FreeBSD may not function
properly. Try disabling ACPI in the motherboard’s BIOS settings, or type the
command “set hint.acpi.0.disabled=”1”” under the boot prompt, in order to solve
the problem.

7.

Before exiting installation, an additional step must be taken to copy the
RocketRAID 2340 driver module to the system. On the driver diskette, there is a
setup script labeled “postinstall”, which will complete this task. Before rebooting
the system, press Alt-F4 to enter the command shell, and type the following
commands:

# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt

# sh /mnt/postinstall

# umount /mnt

Then, press Alt-F1 to return to the setup screen, and choose [X Exit Install] to
finish setup.
