AMIR(4)			    BSD Programmer's Manual		       AMIR(4)

NAME
     amir - AMI MegaRAID logical disk driver

SYNOPSIS
     amir* at amic? drive ?
     amir1 at amic1 drive 0

DESCRIPTION
     The amir driver provides access to individual logical disks on AMI
     MegaRAID controllers.  The amir driver takes care of requesting resources
     from the amic driver; sorting and queueing requests when resources are
     not available; starting read or write operations; marking buffers com-
     plete when read or write operations complete; along with reading and
     writing of disk labels.

     The disk should be labeled with disksetup(8) before use.

     The disk may optionally contain a DOS fdisk label, and portions of the
     disk may be reserved for other operating systems.

USE AS BOOT DEVICE
     In order to boot the system from a amir device use disksetup(8) to in-
     stall BIOS boot blocks. Currently boot(8) can not detect that the boot
     device is a amir device and will assume that the boot device is an sd(4)
     attached SCSI disk. To work around this an entry must either be placed in
     /etc/boot.default or entered at the ``boot:'' prompt.  The following is
     an example of this:

	-rootdev amir0

FILES
     /dev/amir[0-1][a-h]   block files
     /dev/ramir[0-1][a-h]  raw files
     /boot		   Second stage boot
     /etc/boot.define	   Default boot commands
