Creating A FreeBSD Driver Diskette You will need a driver diskette if you are going to be installing FreeBSD on a unit or drive managed by a 3ware RAID controller card which will become the boot unit and for which your version of FreeBSD does not have a built-in driver. To create a driver diskette 1 Insert a blank floppy diskette and the 3ware software CD-ROM into a FreeBSD installed system. 2 Create a mount point for the floppy. mkdir /floppy 3 Format the floppy. newfs /dev/fd0 (assuming fd0 is the floppy disk drive) 4 Mount the floppy drive. mount -t ufs /dev/fd0 /floppy 5 Mount the 3ware software CD-ROM. mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom (assuming acd0 is the CDROM drive). 6 Copy the appropriate module from the 3ware CD-ROM to the floppy. For example: cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/freebsd/6.3/x86_64/twa.ko /floppy 54 3ware SAS/SATA RAID Software User Guide, Version 9.5.1
