- DRIVERLOADER(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual DRIVERLOADER(8)
-
- NAME
- driverLoader - load or configure a driver
-
- SYNOPSIS
- /usr/etc/driverLoader [ aiv ] [ d=deviceName ] [ instance ]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- driverLoader loads or configures a driver after boot time.
- driverLoader is normally used in the script /etc/rc during
- automatic reboot.
-
- The d option configures one device interactively. This is
- how you load drivers that aren't specified in the system
- configuration, and is generally used to test a device
- driver. For example, specifying the -d option as in this
- command:
-
- /usr/etc/driverLoader d=Adaptec1542B
-
- initiates an interactive dialog (user input in bold):
-
- Answer queries with 'y' for 'yes', anything else is 'no'.
- Execute Pre-Load file (pre-load filename)? y
- Load driver Adaptec1542B? y
- Configure driver Adaptec1542B unit 0? y
- Execute Post-Load file (post-load filename)? y
-
- The queries about Pre-Load and Post-Load files only appear
- if the driver supports such files. The filenames for the
- Pre-Load and Post-Load files are specific to a given driver.
-
- You provide the instance argument to specify an
- Instancen.table file. For example, if you specify instance
- as 1, the driver will be probed using the information in its
- Instance1.table file.
-
- OPTIONS
- a Configure all devices. This option is generally used
- when driverLoader is run during system boot in the
- script /etc/rc.
-
- d=deviceName
- Configure deviceName interactively.
-
- i Enable interactive mode to view all active and boot
- drivers in the system configuration.
-
- v Produce verbose output.
