You will need to use HighPoint's FreeBSD drivers. You can download everything from here: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/bios_rr2224.htm While your at it update your cards BIOS (if needed) and grab a copy of "CLI FreeBSD v2.2", the RAID management utility. After you download the driver and un-tar it use the rr222x-bsd-6.img file... It's designed for FreeBSD 6.0 but works perfect on FreeBSD 6.1... Follow the steps below, remember to change /dev/md0 if needed: This installs the device driver: # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f rr222x-bsd-6.img # mount /dev/md0 /mnt # cp /mnt/hptmv6-6.0.ko /boot/modules/ # echo 'hptmv6_load="yes"' >> /boot/loader.conf This installs the console management utility: # pkg_add hptraidconf-2.2.tbz # pkg_add hotsvr-3.12.tbz That's it, after you reboot everything will be working. You should print out the pdf manual for the console management utility. If you need more help just ask... I myself have an HPT 2220. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
