system(4) system(4)

One or more driver to hardware path speciﬁcations is allowed. If a driver statement is provided, the

speciﬁed software module is forced into the kernel I/O system at the given hardware path. This can be

used to make the system recognize a device that could not be recognized automatically.

driver hw_path driver_name

Bind the driver into the kernel I/O system at the given hardware path. Arguments

are interpreted as follows:

hw_path The hardware path representing the device to bind the software with.

driver_name The name of the software module to bind into the kernel at the

speciﬁed hardware path.

• Kernel Tunable Parameter Settings

These lines contain the values (other than default) of kernel tunable parameters that will be used for

the kernel conﬁguration. A tunable value can be either a number or a formula, but it cannot contain

whitespace. If the tunable is user deﬁned, then parameter_name is preceded by the keyword

user:.

No whitespace is permitted between

user: and parameter_name. Each line has the following form:

[tunable][user:]parameter_name value

Modular System File

Modular system ﬁles have been removed from the HP-UX conﬁguration paradigm. All the required infor-

mation from modular system ﬁles have been merged into the traditional system ﬁle itself thus creating a

single hpux system description ﬁle.
