NAME
mkconf - generate configuration tables SYNOPSIS
mkconf DESCRIPTION
Mkconf examines a machine configuration table on its standard input. Its output is a pair of files l.s and c.c. 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. Input to mkconf is a sequence of lines. The following describe devices on the machine: pc (PC11) lp (LP11) rf (RS11) hs (RS03/RS04) tc (TU56) rk (RK03/RK05) tm (TU10) rp (RP03) hp (RP04/5/6) ht (TU16) dc* (DC11) kl* (KL11/DL11-ABC) dl* (DL11-E) dp* (DP11) dn* (DN11) dh* (DH11) dhdm* (DM11-BB) du* (DU11) 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 following lines are also accepted. root dev minor The specified block device (e.g. hp) is used for the root. minor is a decimal number giving the minor device. This line must appear exactly once. swap dev minor The specified block device is used for swapping. If not given the root is used. pipe dev minor The specified block device is used to store pipes. If not given the root is used. swplo number 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. pack Include the packet driver. By default it is left out. mpx Include the multiplexor driver. By default it is left out. FILES
l.s, c.c output files SEE ALSO
`Setting up Unix', in Volume 2. 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 l.s file to make sure it corresponds with reality. MKCONF(1M)

NAME
fdformat - low-level format a floppy disk SYNOPSIS
fdformat [options] device DESCRIPTION
fdformat does a low-level format on a floppy disk. device is usually one of the following (for floppy devices the major = 2, and the minor is shown for informational purposes only): /dev/fd0d360 (minor = 4) /dev/fd0h1200 (minor = 8) /dev/fd0D360 (minor = 12) /dev/fd0H360 (minor = 12) /dev/fd0D720 (minor = 16) /dev/fd0H720 (minor = 16) /dev/fd0h360 (minor = 20) /dev/fd0h720 (minor = 24) /dev/fd0H1440 (minor = 28) /dev/fd1d360 (minor = 5) /dev/fd1h1200 (minor = 9) /dev/fd1D360 (minor = 13) /dev/fd1H360 (minor = 13) /dev/fd1D720 (minor = 17) /dev/fd1H720 (minor = 17) /dev/fd1h360 (minor = 21) /dev/fd1h720 (minor = 25) /dev/fd1H1440 (minor = 29) The generic floppy devices, /dev/fd0 and /dev/fd1, will fail to work with fdformat when a non-standard format is being used, or if the for- mat has not been autodetected earlier. In this case, use setfdprm(8) to load the disk parameters. OPTIONS
-n, --no-verify Skip the verification that is normally performed after the formatting. -V, --version Output version information and exit. -h, --help Display help and exit. SEE ALSO
