FreeBSD Driver Support

For FreeBSD 4.x:

# vnconfig vn0c freebsd_xxx.img

# mount /dev/vn0c /mnt

# cp /mnt/rr172x-xxx.ko /modules/rr172x.ko

# vnconfig –du vn0c myfilesystem mount=/mnt

For FreeBSD 5.x:

# mdconfig –a –t vnode –f freebsd_5.x.img –u 0

# mount /dev/md0 /mnt

# cp /mnt/rr172x-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr172x.ko

# umount /mnt

# mdconfig –d –u md0

Step 2 Test the Driver Module

Test the driver module to ensure that it works with the system, by loading it during

bootup. If the module has been loaded successfully you should see the RocketRAID

1720 banner and a display screen of the attached drives. You can now access the

drives as a SCSI device.

Note:If you have no other SCSI device, the first device is /dev/da0, then /dev/da1,etc.

Example: F1 FreeBSD

Default: F1
