Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds…

<-press SPACE key

Type ’?’ for a list of commands, ’help’ for more detailed

help.

ok load rr172x

/modules/rr172x.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254

ok autoboot

Note: If you have configured a RAID 10 using 4 disks, it will be registered to system

as device /dev/da0. You can use “/stand/sysinstall” to create partitions and

disklabels (like da0s1e) on da0. Then, create a new filesystem using “newfs /dev/

da0s1e”. Now you can mount /dev/da0s1e to somewhere to access it

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

To avoid typing in “load rr172x” each time the operating system is booted, the

system must be instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To

configure the system to automatically install the module, type in the following

commands:

# echo ’rr172x_load=”YES”’ >> /boot/defaults/loader.conf

This command will instruct the loader to load the RocketRAID 1720 module together

with the kernel. After using this command, reboot the system. The RocketRAID 1720

module should now automatically load each time the operating system starts up.

Note: When using FreeBSD 4.x, type in the following command to configure the

system:

# mknod /dev/rr172x c 200 0

Then, check to make sure the node “/dev/rr172x¡±, is present in the /dev directory.
