WARNING!!!

Please only use at your own risk.
Of course, I do not guarantee.
Even if HARDWARE breaks down, I do not take responsibility.

driver source

tw_sol_010000.tar.gz

2000/12/10 version.
if some RAID volumes are not detected correctly by 'format' command,
try to initialize partition table like below.
(be aware ,it breaks Parition table and Master boot record)
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c?t?d0p0 bs=512 count=1

How to build

Just type 'make' at the extracted directory.
gcc-2.95.2 or later (Recommended) is required.

# cd tw_sol_010000
# /usr/ccs/bin/make

How to install

Currentry no pkg is privided.
add the following lines into "/kernel/drv/sd.conf" file by manually.

name="sd" parent="tw" target=0 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=1 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=2 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=3 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=4 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=5 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=6 lun=0; name="sd" parent="tw" target=7 lun=0;

then type "make add".
