SYNOPSIS

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

	   device trm

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

	   trm_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The trm driver supports PCI SCSI host adapters based on the Tekram TRM-S1040 SCSI ASIC.

HARDWARE

     SCSI controllers supported by the trm driver include:
