3. Installation Guide
=====================

   3.1. **** Installing IT8212 Linux Driver into an EXISTING SYSTEM ****
   
   01. Insert driver disk to floppy, issuing command to setup IT8212 driver.
   
       # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
       # cd /mnt/floppy
       # sh install
       # cd /
       # umount /dev/fd0
       
   02. Reboot Turbo linux system.
   	
   3.2. **** Installing RedHat Linux on IT8212 Controller ****
   
   01. Prepare your hardware for installation
   
       After you attach your hard disks to IT8212 controller, you can use IT8212
       BIOS to configure your hard disks as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0/1 or JBOD
       arrays, or just use them as single disks. Remember to set the BOOT disk
       when you in the IT8212 BIOS config menu.
       
       Before installation, you must remove all the disk drives, which are not
       physcially attached to IT8212 controller, from your system.
       
   02. Check system BIOS setting
   
       In your system bios setup menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the
       system will first boot from CDROM, and then from SCSI. Refer to your BIOS
       manual to see how to set boot sequence.
       
   03. Install TurboLinux 8.0 Server version
       
       (1) Start Turbo Linux Installation with CD-ROM booting.
       (2) Type "dd" when "boot:" prompted.
       (3) Then you will be asked "Do you have a driver disk?". Insert your driver disk and select "Yes".
       (4) The IT8212 driver will be loaded and continue the installation as normal.
    
	   
3. Setup up device node for RAID Management Software.
=====================================================

   01. Check the /proc/devices when iteraid.o is loaded, you will see like
       this:
       
       Character devices:
       1 mem
       ..
       ..
       254 itedev ==> created by our driver, maybe the major number will
                      different from your system.
       
       Block deices:
       ..
       ..
       
       The 254 is a major number for itedev, then use the mknod command to
       create the device node in /dev directory. 
   
       # mknod /dev/itedev c 254 0
       # chmod 664 /dev/itedev

          
4. The note for using ATAPI CD-ROM
===================================

   01. If you want reading the data CD, just insert the disk into CD-ROM,   
       then mount as iso9660 file type:
       
       # mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom/
       
       Then you can access the disk data via /mnt/cdrom/. Remember to umount
       the /mnt/cdrom/ if you want to access another one.
       
       # umount /mnt/cdrom/
       
   02. If you want listening the music CD, insert the disk into CD-ROM,
       then you do not need to mount like the data disk. Just open the
       CD Player(like KsCD in KDE..), then you can start listening the music.
