As shown in Figure 5–1, the /usr/sys/conf directory contains files that
define the kernel configuration for the generic and target kernels. These
files represent the configuration of the static portion of the kernel. When
you work with the system files to reconfigure the kernel, you are interested
primarily in five files:
• /usr/sys/conf/
NAME
• /usr/sys/conf/GENERIC
• /usr/sys/conf/.product.list
• /usr/sys/conf/
NAME .list
• /usr/sys/conf/param.c
The sections that follow provide more information about these files.
5.5.1 System Configuration Files
The /usr/sys/conf directory contains two important system
configuration files:
• The target configuration file, /usr/sys/conf/
NAME, is a text file that
defines the components that the system builds into your kernel. By

NAME portion of the pathname is the name of your
system in capital letters. For example, a system named MYSYS is
