HighPoint RocketRAID 2300 - Manual (Page 76)

FreeBSD Driver Support
# cp /mnt/rr2310_00-xxx.ko /modules/rr2310_00.ko
# umount /mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2310_00-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2310_00.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/rr2310_00-xxx.ko /modules/rr2310_00.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
# cp /mnt/rr2310_00-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2310_00.ko
# umount /mnt
# mdconfig –d –u md0
Step 2 Test the Driver Module
Test the driver module to ensure that it works with the system, by loading it during
bootup. If the module has been loaded successfully you should see the RocketRAID
banner and a display screen of the attached drives. You can now access the drives as
a SCSI device.
Note: If you have no other SCSI device, the first device is /dev/da0, then /dev/da1,
etc.).
Example: F1 FreeBSD
Default: F1
