SYNOPSIS
     To	compile	this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
     kernel configuration file:

     Alternatively, to load the	driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   hptmv_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The hptmv driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 182x based
     RAID controller.

     These devices support ATA disk drives and provide RAID0 (striping), RAID1
     (mirroring), and RAID5 functionality.

HARDWARE
     The hptmv driver supports the following ATA RAID controllers:

     o	 HighPoint's RocketRAID	182x series

NOTES
     The hptmv driver only works on the	i386 and amd64 platforms as it re-
     quires a binary blob object from the manufacturer which they only supply
     for these platforms.  The hptmv driver does not work on i386 with pae(4)
     enabled.

SEE ALSO
     kld(4), kldload(8), loader(8)

HISTORY

AUTHORS

     ported to FreeBSD by Scott	Long.  This manual page	was written by David
     E.	O'Brien.

BUGS
     The hptmv driver does not support manipulating the	RAID from the OS,
     RAIDs need	to be set up from the on-board BIOS.
