30.Sh NAME
31.Nm hptrr
32.Nd "HighPoint RocketRAID device driver"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device hptrr"
39.Cd "device scbus"
40.Cd "device da"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47hptrr_load="YES"

91driver does
92.Em not
93work on i386 with
94.Xr pae 4
95enabled.
96.Pp
97This driver does not support the RR182x series controller.
98See the
