Rocket RAID 2680 FreeBSD Installation Guide

- 4 -

Note

On some systems with ACPI enabled, FreeBSD may not work. You can try to

disable ACPI in system BIOS or type the command “

set

hint.acpi.0.disabled=”1”

” under boot prompt to solve the problem.

Before exit install, insert floppy driver diskette into (USB) floppy drive, or insert

USB driver disk into USB port, then an additional step must be taken to copy RR2680

driver module to system. On the driver disk, there is a setup script "postinstall" which

will do this work for you. Before you reboot the system, press Alt-F4 to the command

shell and type the following commands:

For common ISA floppy controller:

# mount –t msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt

For USB floppy controller, we assume it is da0:

# mount –t msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt

For USB disk, we assume it is da1:

# mount –t msdosfs /dev/da1 /mnt
or
# mount –t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /mnt

Then run script to do postinstall

# sh /mnt/postinstall
# umount /mnt

Then press Alt-F1 to return to the setup screen and choose [X Exit Install] to finish

setup.

Note

After the driver has been loaded, remove the floppy diskette from (USB) floppy

drive or remove USB disk from USB port to avoid that the installed system does

not boot normally.
