442. Rebuild the kernel with HighPoint Rocket support
45-----------------------------------------------
46
47  1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 
48  
49  2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
50
51     # cd /usr/src/sys/
52     # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr_freebsd_src_v1.0.1_14_08_19.tgz
53
54  3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
55     Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is 
56     MYKERNEL:
57
58     # cd i386/conf          (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
59     # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
60
61  4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers 
62     interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":
63
64          device  "hptnr"   #HighPoint Rocket
65
66  5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
67     shown below:
68
69          hptnr_lib.o optional    hptnr  \
70              dependency  "$S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
71              compile-with    "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
72              no-implicit-rule
73
74          dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c      optional        hptnr
75          dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c     optional        hptnr
76          dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c      optional        hptnr
77
78     For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
79     shown below:
80
81          hptnr_lib.o optional    hptnr  \
82              dependency  "$S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
83              compile-with    "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
84              no-implicit-rule
85
86          dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c      optional        hptnr
87          dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c     optional        hptnr
88          dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c      optional        hptnr
89
90  6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
91
92     a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386/6.x-i386/7.x-i386/8.x-i386/9.x-i386:
93     
94        # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
95        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
96        # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
97        # make depend
98        # make 
99        # make install
100
101     b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64/6.x-amd64/7.x-amd64/8.x-amd64/9.x-amd64:
102
103        # cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
104        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
105        # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
106        # make depend
107        # make 
108        # make install
109
110     c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
111     
112        # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
113        # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
114        # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
115        # make depend
116        # make 
117        # make install
118
119    If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
120    /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptnr_load="YES"
121    from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
122    
123  7) Reboot from the new kernel.
124
125
1263. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
127------------------------------------------------
128
129  1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 
130  
131  2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
132    
133     # cd /usr/src/sys/
134     # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr-freebsd-src-v1.0-111213.tgz
135
136
137  4) Build the driver module:
138    
139     # cd modules/hptnr
140     # make
141
142  5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
143
144     For FreeBSD 4.x:
145     
146     # cp hptnr.ko /modules/
147
148     For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x:
149    
150     # cp hptnr.ko /boot/kernel/
151
152  6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
153
154        BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.01
155        Console: internal video/keyboard
156        BIOS driver A: is disk0
157        BIOS driver C: is disk2
158        BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory
159

164        
165        Hit [Enter] to boot immediagely, or any other key for command prompt.

170        ok load hptnr
171        /modules/hptnr.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
172        ok boot
173        
174     For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader
175     prompt.
176  
177  7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
178     driver automatically:
179    
180           hptnr_load="YES"
181    
182     Please refer to the installation guide in HighPoint FreeBSD driver release 
183     package for more information.
