2 - Installing the RocketRAID 2210 Driver on an Existing System

If you are currently running FreeBSD and would like to access drives or arrays

attached to the RocketRAID 2210 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:

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 2210 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
