2 - Installing RocketRAID 2340 Driver on an Existing System
If you are currently running FreeBSD and would like to access drives or arrays
attached to the RocketRAID 2340 Controller, follow the steps outlined below:
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/rr2340-xxx.ko /modules/rr2340.ko
# umount /mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2340-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2340.ko
# umount /mnt
Alternately, it is possible extract the files from the .img files directly, without using a
floppy diskette:
For FreeBSD 4.x:
# vnconfig vn0c freebsd_xxx.img
# mount /dev/vn0c /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2340-xxx.ko /modules/rr2340.ko
# vnconfig –du vn0c myfilesystem mount=/mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x:
# mdconfig –a –t vnode –f freebsd_5.x.img –u 0
# mount /dev/md0 /mnt
