HighPoint RocketRAID 2522 - Manual (Page 68)

FreeBSD Driver Support
Note: On some systems, when ACPI is enabled, FreeBSD may not function
properly. Try disabling ACPI in the motherboard’s BIOS settings, or type the
command “set hint.acpi.0.disabled=”1”” under the boot prompt, in order to
solve the problem.
7. Before exiting installation, an additional step must be taken to copy the
RocketRAID driver module to the system. On the driver diskette, there is a setup
script labeled “postinstall”, which will complete this task. Before rebooting the
system, press Alt-F4 to enter the command shell, and type the following
commands:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# sh /mnt/postinstall
# umount /mnt
Then, press Alt-F1 to return to the setup screen, and choose [X Exit
Install] to finish setup.

# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2522-xxx.ko /modules/rr2522.ko
# umount /mnt
For FreeBSD 5.x:
# mount –o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp /mnt/rr2522-xxx.ko /boot/kernel/rr2522.ko
