Installing with FreeBSD
Note: You will need your FreeBSD Installation CD to complete this task.
To install the driver when installing FreeBSD:
1 Insert the FreeBSD Installation CD.
2 Restart your computer.
3 When the FreeBSD start screen opens, select 6 to escape to loader prompt.
4 Type
load kernel
.
5 Insert the driver floppy disk.
6 Type
load disk0:aacu.ko
.
If the driver fails to load, run lsdev and check for the floppy disk drive. Then, try again with
the appropriate device.
7 Type
boot
.
8 Complete the FreeBSD installation, following the instructions included with your
operating system.
9 Reboot your computer, then remove the driver disk.
10 Repeat Steps 3 through 7 the first time you boot the operating system to load the drivers
again for the initial bootup.
Note:
Currently, Adaptec Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD. To create and
manage arrays, use the
ARC utility. See page 63 for more information.
