NAME
create_sysfile — create a kernel system file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/sysadm/create_sysfile
[outfile]
DESCRIPTION
The
create_sysfile
command creates a kernel configuration
description file (system file) which can be
used as input to the commands
kconfig(1M)
or
mk_kernel(1M).
The system file that is generated is of type version 1 (see
system(4))
and 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 uses a template file as a starting point and
then it scans the system hardware and
adds 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
Upon completion,
create_sysfile
returns with one of the following exit values:
- 0
Successful.
- 1
One or more errors were reported.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors are sent to stderr.
Most of the diagnostic messages from
create_sysfile
are self-explanatory.
Errors cause
create_sysfile
to halt immediately.
