5) After the driver has been loaded, remove the floppy diskette from the floppy drive.
6) Type in "boot" and continue the installation as normal. You can refer to FreeBSD
installation guide.
ok boot
Note
On some systems with ACPI enabled, FreeBSD may not work. You can try to
disable ACPI in system BIOS or type the command “set
hint.acpi.0.disabled=”1”” under boot prompt to solve the problem.
7) Before exit install, an additional step must be taken to copy RR174x driver module to
system. On the driver disk, there is a setup script "postinstall" which will do this
work for you. Before you reboot the system, press Alt-F4 to 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.
Note: On some systems the floppy may be inaccessible during installation. In this
case, please remove the CD, reboot from the installed system and load the driver
manually from floppy again. When system boots up you can run the postinstall script
to install the driver.
