FreeBSD Driver Support

for FreeBSD 5.3-AMD64-RELEASE

ok load disk0:rr2310-5.3-amd64.ko

for FreeBSD 5.4-AMD64-RELEASE

ok load disk0:rr2310-5.4-amd64.ko

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

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.

Before exiting installation, an additional step must be taken to copy the RocketRAID
2310 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.
