.TH MKCONF 1M .SH NAME mkconf \- generate configuration tables .SH SYNOPSIS mkconf .SH DESCRIPTION .I Mkconf examines a machine configuration table on its standard input. Its output is three files .I l.s , .I c.c and .I mch0.s. The first is an assembler program that represents the interrupt vectors located in low memory addresses; the second contains initialized block and character device switch tables; the third is a header file for the machine language assist file (mch.s), which selects the tape to be used for core dumps and specifies whether or not floating point support is included in mch.s. .PP Input to .I mkconf is a sequence of lines. The following describe devices on the machine: .PP .RS 5 .nf .DS pc (PC11) lp (LP11) rf (RS11) hs (RS03/RS04) ml (ML11) tc (TU56) rk (RK03/RK05) rl (RL01/2) tm (TU10) rp (RP03) hp (RM02/3, RP04/5/6 on first RH) hm (RM02/3, RP04/5/6 on second RH) hk (RK06/7) ht (TU16) ts (TS11) rx2 (RX02) dc* (DC11) kl* (KL11/DL11-ABC) dl* (DL11-E) dp* (DP11) dn* (DN11) dh* (DH11) dhdm* (DM11-BB) du* (DU11) dz* (DZ11) .RE .fi .PP The devices marked with * may be preceded by a number telling how many are to be included. The console typewrite is automatically included; don't count it as part of the KL or DL specification. Count DN's in units of 4 (1 system unit). The hs and ml devices are mutually exclusive. .PP The following lines are also accepted. .TP 5 .BI "root " "dev minor" The specified block device (e.g. .BR hp ) is used for the root. .I minor is a decimal number giving the minor device. This line must appear exactly once. .TP 5 .BI "swap " "dev minor" The specified block device is used for swapping. If not given the root is used. .TP 5 .BI "pipe " "dev minor" The specified block device is used to store pipes. If not given the root is used. .TP 5 .BI "swplo " number .TP 5 .BI "nswap " number Sets the origin (block number) and size of the area used for swapping. By default, the not very useful numbers 4000 and 872. .TP 5 .BI "dump " "dev addr" Selects the tape to be used as the core dump device. The dev specification is one of the three tapes ht, tm, or ts, and addr is an optional tape CSR address specification. If dump is ommitted, mkconf will make the core dump tape selection. .TP 5 .B pack Include the packet driver. By default it is left out. .TP 5 .B mpx Include the multiplexor driver. By default it is left out. .TP 5 .B nfp Do not include floating point support in the machine language assist file, the default is to include floating point. .TP 5 .B ov Causes mkconf to create the file "covld" which is used by the makefile in /sys/conf to link the overlay unix kernel. Must be specified if the overlay kernel is to be generated. .TP 5 .B nsid Must be specified if a non-spearate I & D space unix system is to be generated. By default, a separate I & D space unix system is generated. If "ov" is specified, "nsid" is ignored by mkconf. .SH FILES l.s, c.c, mch0.s output files .SH SEE ALSO `Setting up Unix', in Volume 2. .br `Regenerating System Software', in Volume 2. .SH BUGS The set of devices it knows about, the set of drivers included, and the set of devices on the machine are mutually incomparable. Some handwork is certain to be necessary. Because of floating vectors that may have been missed, It is mandatory to check the .I l.s file to make sure it corresponds with reality.
