NAME
create_sysfile - create a kernel system file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lbin/sysadm/create_sysfile
[outfile]
DESCRIPTION
The
create_sysfile
command creates a kernel configuration description file (system file) which can
be used as input to the commands kconfig(1M) or mk_kernel(1M). The system file that is generated is of
type version 1 (see system(4)) and 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 uses a template file as a starting point and then it scans the system
hardware and adds 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
.

create_sysfile
returns with one of the following exit values:

DIAGNOSTICS

create_sysfile
are self-explanatory.
