Rocket RAID 174x FreeBSD Installation Guide
1 Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions on how to install and use
RocketRAID 174x Controller on a FreeBSD system.
2 Installing FreeBSD on RocketRAID 174x Controller
If you would like to install FreeBSD onto drives attached to RocketRAID 174x controller,
please perform the following operations:
Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation
After you attach your hard disks to RR174x controller, you can use RR174x BIOS Setting
Utility to configure your hard disks as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.
Note
If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must make sure the RR174x controller
BIOS will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to another PCI slot. Otherwise you may
be unable to boot up your system.
Step 2 Check System BIOS Settings
In your system BIOS SETUP menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the system
will first boot from CDROM, next from and then from floppy drive, and then from SCSI.
Refer to your BIOS manual to see how to set boot sequence.
If your BIOS settings do not support such a boot sequence, you can first set it to boot from
CDROM. After you finish installation, set SCSI as the first boot device to boot up the
system.
Step 3 Prepare the Driver Diskette
If you are installing FreeBSD, you must prepare a driver disk for RR174x before
installation.
First obtain the driver diskette image file, freebsd.img.
On a DOS or Windows system, you can make the boot diskette using rawrite.exe. It can be
found on the FreeBSD CD (under \tools). Just run it under a command window and follow
its prompt.
On a FreeBSD system, you can use the "dd" command to make the driver diskette. For
example, Insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the following command if you
are installing FreeBSD 5.x versions:
# dd if=freebsd_5.x.img of=/dev/fd0
