Driver Installation Under FreeBSD Driver Installation Under FreeBSD Note: Before installing the 3ware driver, you must have already installed your 3ware RAID controller in the system. Consult the installation guide that came with your controller for how to do this. You can download the installation guide from: http:// www.3ware.com/support/userdocs.asp 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. Obtaining 3ware FreeBSD Drivers The 3ware software CD-ROM that came with the 3ware RAID controller includes compiled and tested kernel driver modules for FreeBSD 5.4 only. To see if a more recent driver is available, please see the 3ware web site at http:// www.3ware.com/support/index.asp.
