Move all of the hptmv files to /sys/dev/hptmv so that they won't be mistaken for being on a CVS vendor branch. The files were moved via a repo-copy.

2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
# cd /usr/src/sys/
# tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr182x-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz
3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is
MYKERNEL:
# cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
# cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers
interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":
device hptmv #HighPoint RocketRAID 182x

Note FreeBSD 5.3/5.4 i386 already have a built-in RR182x driver, you should
replace the old configuration lines with the lines listed above.
6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386:

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
# cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
# make depend
# make
# make install
b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64:
# cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
# cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
# make depend
# make
# make install
c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
# make depend
# make
# make install
If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
/boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptmv_load="YES"
from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
7) Reboot from the new kernel.
3. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
------------------------------------------------
1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
# cd /usr/src/sys/
# tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr182x-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz
4) Build the driver module:
# cd modules/hptmv
# make
5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
For FreeBSD 4.x:
# cp hptmv.ko /modules/
For FreeBSD 5.x:
# cp hptmv.ko /boot/kernel/
6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
