FreeBSD Driver Installation
Obtaining LSI FreeBSD Drivers
NOTE If your FreeBSD system has the mpt driver issue, you must disable the
mpt driver and recompile the kernel first. If you have a MegaRAID
controller installed, you must power down and remove the controller
from your system and recompile the kernel. If you leave the controller
in your system, the mpt driver claims the device ID and goes into a soft
reset continuously, and your system cannot exit boot. See
Section 6.4,
Installing the FreeBSD OS on Storage Managed by a MegaRAID
Controller (Primary Storage)
, for instructions.
This section covers these topics:
 Obtaining LSI FreeBSD OS drivers
 Creating a FreeBSD OS driver diskette
 Installing FreeBSD OS on storage managed by a MegaRAID controller (primary storage)
 Installing the kernel driver on a FreeBSD OS that boots from a device not managed by a MegaRAID controller
(secondary storage)
6.2 Obtaining LSI FreeBSD Drivers
LSI drivers can be compiled from source files into the kernel as built-in drivers or they can be modules that are loaded
manually or by the operating system. Both source files and modules are available from LSI, but modules with current
controller drivers are available for the FreeBSD 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0 operating systems.
You can obtain the MegaRAID controller driver for the FreeBSD OS from one of these two sources:
 LSI software CD-ROM, which includes the following items:
