Driver Installation Under FreeBSD Note: Before installing the 3ware driver, you must have already installed your 3ware RAID controller in the system. A drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID 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. The steps you follow to install the driver and make your RAID unit available depend on whether it will be your boot device. This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for the following situations: „ "Installing the Driver While Installing FreeBSD on the 3ware RAID Controller" on page 88 „ "Installing the 3ware Driver on a FreeBSD System that Boots from a Different Device" on page 92 www.3ware.com 87

Driver Installation Under
FreeBSD
Note:
Before installing the 3ware driver, you must have
already installed your 3ware RAID controller in the
system.
A drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID 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.
The steps you follow to install the driver and make your RAID unit
available depend on whether it will be your boot device. This
chapter provides step-by-step instructions for the following
situations:
“Installing the Driver While Installing FreeBSD on the 3ware
RAID Controller” on page 88
“Installing the 3ware Driver on a FreeBSD System that Boots
from a Different Device” on page 92
