NAME
create_sysfile - create a kernel system file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/sysadm/create_sysfile [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
The create_sysfile command creates a kernel generation description file (system file) which can be
used as input to the command config. The system file is built according to the drivers required by the
current system hardware. This command is intended for use during the install process when the system
does not have a system file.
The create_sysfile command first chooses a template file based on the CPU type of the machine,
then it scans the system hardware and includes all drivers it can identify to run the existing hardware. If
outfile is specified, the resulting system file is sent to outfile.Ifoutfile is not specified, the output is placed
in the file /stand/system.
RETURN VALUE
The create_sysfile
command returns zero upon normal completion or 1 if an error occurred.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors are sent to stderr. Most of the diagnostic messages from
create_sysfile
are self-explanatory.
Errors cause
create_sysfile to halt immediately.
