FreeBSD Driver Support
1 - Installing FreeBSD on the RocketRAID 2310 Controller
If you would like to install FreeBSD onto arrays attached to the RocketRAID 2310
host adapter, please follow the steps below.
Step 1 Prepare the Driver Diskette
When installing FreeBSD to a disk or array attached to the RocketRAID 2310, you
must prepare a RocketRAID 2310 driver diskette before starting the installation
procedure.
First, obtain the driver diskette image file from the driver package.
In a DOS or Windows system, create the boot diskette using the rawrite.exe utility.
This utility can be found on the FreeBSD CD (under \tools). Run it under a DOS-
Prompt window and follow it’s prompt.
On a FreeBSD system, use the “dd” command to make the driver diskette. For
example, Insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the following command (if
you are installing FreeBSD 5.x versions):
# dd if=freebsd_5.x.img of=/dev/fd0
Step 2 Install FreeBSD
Start the FreeBSD installation procedure by booting from installation CD.
If you are installing FreeBSD 5.0 or earlier versions, skip this step. When the “Wel-
come to FreeBSD” screen appears, select “6”.
When the “Hit [enter] to boot immediately or any other key for command prompt”
screen appears, press the SPACE key to stop the loader from autobooting.
