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
