mkconf - generate configuration tables

mkconf

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.
