Rocket RAID 2680 FreeBSD Installation Guide
Note
On some systems the floppy may be inaccessible during installation. In this case,
please remove the CD, reboot from the installed system and load the driver
manually from floppy again when booting from controller. After system boots up
you can run the postinstall script to install the driver.

3 Installing RR2680 Driver on an Existing System

If you are currently running FreeBSD and would like to access drives or arrays attached to
the RR2680 Controller, you can perform the following steps.

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 6.x/7.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2680-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2680.ko
# umount /mnt
You can also extract the files from .tgz files directly, without using a floppy diskette:
For FreeBSD 6.x/7.x:
# tar zxvf xxx.tgz
# cp rr2680-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2680.ko

Step 2 Test the Driver Module

You can test out the module to ensure that it works for your system by load it during
system booting.
If the module has been loaded successfully you should see the RR2680 banner and a
display screen of the attached drives. You can now access the drives as a SCSI device (if
you have no other SCSI device, the first device is /dev/da0, then /dev/da1, etc.).
If you have configured a RAID using all disks, it will be registered to system as device
/dev/da0. You can use "/stand/sysinstall" to create partitions and disklabels
on da0. Then you can create 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

Most likely, you will not want to type "load rr2680" each time you boot up the system.
Therefore you must install the module and tell the system about it. To configure system
to automatically load the driver, type in the following commands:
# echo 'rr2680_load="YES"' >> /boot/defaults/loader.conf
This tells the loader to try loading the RR2680 module together with the kernel.
Now, reboot the system. RR2680 module should be automatically loaded each time
(like da0s1e)
