Installation guide

After all kernel subsets are installed, issue the following
command:
# doconfig -c GENERIC
The −c flag specifies that you want to build a kernel using
an existing configuration file, in this case the GENERIC
configuration file. For more information about building a
kernel from an existing configuration file, see Section 5.4.3.
After the generic kernel is running and recognizes the new
device, continue with step 5. When the build ends, condider
using the strip command to reduce the size of the kernel.
See the strip
(1) reference page.
5. At the single-user mode prompt, check and mount local file systems by
issuing the following command, unless you are using the Logical
Storage Manager software (LSM):
# /sbin/bcheckrc
If you are using the Logical Storage Manager (LSM) software, check
local file systems and start LSM by issuing the following command:
# /sbin/lsmbstartup
6. Run the sizer program to size your system hardware and create a
new target configuration file that includes the new device:
# sizer -n MYSYS
The sizer -n command creates a new target configuration file for
your system that includes the appropriate device definition keyword
for the new deivce. (This process is similar to the process that occurs
at system installation time. For more information, see Section 5.1.)
The sizer program stores the new target configuration file in the
/tmp directory.
7. Compare the new target configuration file created by sizer with the
existing target configuration file for your system:
# diff /tmp/MYSYS MYSYS
Check the differences between these files until you find the new device
definition keyword. (The two files might differ in other ways if you
have customized your existing configuration file, such as by specifying
a nondefault value for the maxusers option.)
8. Use the text editor of your choice to add the new device definition
keyword to your existing configuraton file (in this case, MYSYS).
Adding the new keyword allows your existing configuration file to
