FreeBSD Installation Note: Installing FreeBSD on a system with an old driver can cause a system to become unstable. For additional information, see the Release Notes on the 3ware website, and the Knowledgebase in the Support section of the 3ware website at http://www.3ware.com. Note: The instructions in this chapter assume that you have already installed the 3ware Escalade controller and configured your disk arrays. If you have not yet done so, follow the instructions in the 3ware Hardware Installation chapter and the 3ware Disk Array Configuration Utility chapter. A drive or array managed by the 3ware Escalade controller may be configured to be your system's boot device. Or, you can use another device as your boot device, such as a disk attached to the motherboard. This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for both situations: ■ Installing the 3ware driver and FreeBSD on a new drive or array (page 74). ■ Installing the 3ware driver on a system that boots FreeBSD from a different device (page 75). You will also find instructions for compiling the 3ware driver from the source files. Note: 3DM does not work under FreeBSD, however you can use the 3ware CLI (Command Line Interface), available from the 3ware website at http://www.3ware.com/support/download.asp. www.3ware.com 73
