ok autoboot
Note: If you have configured a RAID 10 using 4 disks, it will be registered to system
as device /dev/da0. You can use “/stand/sysinstall” to create partitions and disklabels
(like da0s1e) on da0. Then, create a new filesystem using “newfs /dev/da0s1e”. Now
you can mount /dev/da0s1e to somewhere to access it.
Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver
To avoid typing in “load rr2340” each time the operating system is booted, the system
must be instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To configure the
system to automatically install the module, type in the following commands:
# echo ’rr2340_load=”YES”’ >> /boot/defaults/loader.conf
This command will instruct the loader to load the rr2340 module together with the
kernel. After using this command, reboot the system. The rr2340 module should now
automatically load each time the operating system starts up.
Note: When using FreeBSD 4.x, type in the following command to configure the
system:
# mknod /dev/rr2340 c 200 0
Then, check to make sure the node “/dev/rr2340”, is present in the /dev directory.
