NAME
create_sysfile — create a kernel system file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/sysadm/create_sysfile
[outfile]
DESCRIPTION
The
create_sysfile
command creates a kernel generation
description file (system file) which can be
used as input to the command
config.
The system file is built according to the
drivers required by the current system hardware.
This command is intended for use during the install
process when the system does not have a system file.
The
create_sysfile
command first chooses a template file based on the CPU
type of the machine,
then it scans the system hardware and
includes all drivers it can identify to run the
existing hardware.
If
outfile
is specified,
the resulting system file is sent to
outfile.
If
outfile
is not specified,
the output is placed in the file
/stand/system.
RETURN VALUE
The
create_sysfile
command returns zero
upon normal completion or
1
if an error occurred.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors are sent to stderr.
Most of the diagnostic messages from
create_sysfile
are self-explanatory.
Errors cause
create_sysfile
to halt immediately.
