2. Rebuild the kernel with HighPoint RocketRAID support
-----------------------------------------------
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/hpt27xx-freebsd-src-v1.0-111227.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 "hpt27xx" #HighPoint RocketRAID
5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
shown below:
hpt27xx_lib.o optional hpt27xx \
dependency "$S/dev/hpt27xx/i386-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hpt27xx/i386-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
no-implicit-rule
dev/hpt27xx/os_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
dev/hpt27xx/osm_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
dev/hpt27xx/hpt27xx_config.c optional hpt27xx
For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
shown below:
hpt27xx_lib.o optional hpt27xx \
dependency "$S/dev/hpt27xx/amd64-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hpt27xx/amd64-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
no-implicit-rule
dev/hpt27xx/os_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
dev/hpt27xx/osm_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
dev/hpt27xx/hpt27xx_config.c optional hpt27xx
6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386/6.x-i386/7.x-i386/8.x-i386/9.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-amd64/6.x-amd64/7.x-amd64/8.x-amd64/9.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 hpt27xx_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/hpt27xx-freebsd-src-v1.0-111227.tgz
4) Build the driver module:
# cd modules/hpt27xx
# make
5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
For FreeBSD 4.x:
# cp hpt27xx.ko /modules/
For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x:
# cp hpt27xx.ko /boot/kernel/
6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS driver A: is disk0
BIOS driver C: is disk2
BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
ok load hpt27xx
/modules/hpt27xx.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
ok boot
For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader
prompt.
7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
driver automatically:
hpt27xx_load="YES"
