Before exiting installation, an additional step must be taken to copy the
RocketRAID 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 3522 Driver on an Exist-
ing System
If you are currently running FreeBSD and would like to access drives or arrays attached
to the RocketRAID host adapter, 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/hptiop-xxx.ko /modules/hptiop.ko
# umount /mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/hptiop-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/hptiop.ko
# umount /mnt
Alternately, it is possible extract the files from the .img files directly, without using a
floppy diskette:
For FreeBSD 4.x:
# vnconfig vn0c freebsd_xxx.img
# mount /dev/vn0c /mnt
# cp /mnt/hptiop-xxx.ko /modules/hptiop.ko
# vnconfig –du vn0c myfilesystem mount=/mnt
