FreeBSD Driver Support

7. Before exiting installation, an additional step must be taken to copy the

RocketRAID 174x 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

# umount /mnt

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

setup.

2 - Installing the RocketRAID 174x Driver on an Exist-

ing System

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

attached to the RocketRAID 174x 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:

For FreeBSD 4.x:

# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt

# cp /mnt/rr174x-xxx.ko /modules/rr174x.ko

# umount /mnt

For FreeBSD 5.x:

# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt

# cp /mnt/rr174x-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr174x.ko

# umount /mnt

Alternately, it is possible extract the files from the .img files directly, without using a

floppy diskette:
