57 2. Rebuild the kernel with RR18xx support
60   1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
65      # tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr18xx-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz
67   3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
79   5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
82           hptmvraid.o optional    hptmv  \
83               dependency  "$S/dev/hptmv/i386-elf.raid.o.uu" \
84               compile-with    "uudecode < $S/dev/hptmv/i386-elf.raid.o.uu" \
87           dev/hptmv/gui_lib.c     optional        hptmv
88           dev/hptmv/hptproc.c     optional        hptmv
89           dev/hptmv/ioctl.c       optional        hptmv
90           dev/hptmv/entry.c       optional        hptmv
91           dev/hptmv/mv.c          optional        hptmv
93      For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
96           hptmvraid.o optional    hptmv  \
97               dependency  "$S/dev/hptmv/amd64-elf.raid.o.uu" \
98               compile-with    "uudecode < $S/dev/hptmv/amd64-elf.raid.o.uu" \
101           dev/hptmv/gui_lib.c     optional        hptmv
102           dev/hptmv/hptproc.c     optional        hptmv
103           dev/hptmv/ioctl.c       optional        hptmv
104           dev/hptmv/entry.c       optional        hptmv
105           dev/hptmv/mv.c          optional        hptmv
107      Note FreeBSD 5.3/5.4/6.x/7.x i386 already have a built-in RR18xx driver,
108      you should replace the old configuration lines with the lines listed above.
113      a) for FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x i386:
117         # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
122      b) for FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x amd64:
126         # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
131      c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
135         # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
141     /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptmv_load="YES"
142     from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
144   7) Reboot from the new kernel.
147 3. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
150   1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
155      # tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr18xx-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz
165      For FreeBSD 4.x:
167      # cp hptmv.ko /modules/
169      For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x:
171      # cp hptmv.ko /boot/kernel/
173   6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
182         (mailto:jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com, Sat Apr 21 08:46:19 GMT 2001)
183         Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
186         Hit [Enter] to boot immediagely, or any other key for command prompt.
190         Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
192         /modules/hptmv.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
195      For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader prompt.
197   7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
203      package for more information.
