This command will instruct the loader to load the RocketRAID module together with

the kernel. After using this command, reboot the system. The RocketRAID module

should now automatically load each time the operating system starts up.

Note: When using FreeBSD 4.x, type in the following command to configure the

system:

# mknod /dev/rr2310_00 c 200 0

Then, check to make sure the node “/dev/rr2310_00¡±

, is present in the /dev

directory.

Step 4 Configure the System to Mount Volumes at Startup

Instruct the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file /etc/fstab.

Example: Add the following line to instruct the system to mount /dev/da1s1e to

location /mnt/hpt after startup:

/dev/da1s1e /mnt/hpt ufs rw 0 0

3 - Updating the Driver

To update the driver with a newer revision, simply reinstall the driver following the

steps discussed in the previous section, “Install the driver on an existing system”.

4 - Uninstalling the Driver

The driver can only be uninstalled when the system is not booting from devices

attached to the RocketRAID host adapter. To uninstall, remove the line

rr2310_00_load=”YES” located in /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and then delete the

driver module /modules/rr2310_00.ko or /boot/kernel/rr2310_00.ko.
