NAME
       mkconf - generate configuration tables

SYNOPSIS
       mkconf

DESCRIPTION
       Mkconf  examines	 a  machine configuration table on its standard input.
       Its output is a pair of files l.s and c.c.  The first is	 an  assembler
       program	that  represents  the  interrupt vectors located in low memory
       addresses; the second contains initialized block and  character	device
       switch tables.

       Input to mkconf is a sequence of lines.	The following describe devices
       on the machine:

	    pc	 (PC11)
	    lp	 (LP11)
	    rf	 (RS11)
	    hs	 (RS03/RS04)
	    tc	 (TU56)
	    rk	 (RK03/RK05)
	    tm	 (TU10)
	    rp	 (RP03)
	    hp	 (RP04/5/6)
	    ht	 (TU16)
	    dc*	 (DC11)
	    kl*	 (KL11/DL11-ABC)
	    dl*	 (DL11-E)
	    dp*	 (DP11)
	    dn*	 (DN11)
	    dh*	 (DH11)
	    dhdm*     (DM11-BB)
	    du*	 (DU11)

       The devices marked with * may be preceded by a number telling how  many
       are  to	be included.  The console typewrite is automatically included;
       don't count it as part of the KL or DL specification.   Count  DN's  in
       units of 4 (1 system unit).

       The following lines are also accepted.

       root dev minor
	    The specified block device (e.g.  hp) is used for the root.	 minor
	    is a decimal number giving	the  minor  device.   This  line  must
	    appear exactly once.

       swap dev minor
	    The specified block device is used for swapping.  If not given the
	    root is used.

       pipe dev minor
	    The specified block device is used to store pipes.	If  not	 given
	    the root is used.

       swplo number

       nswap number
	    Sets the origin (block number) and size of the area used for swap‐
	    ping.  By default, the not very useful numbers 4000 and 872.

       pack Include the packet driver.	By default it is left out.

       mpx  Include the multiplexor driver.  By default it is left out.

FILES
       l.s, c.c	 output files

BUGS
       The set of devices it knows about, the set of drivers included, and the
       set of devices on the machine are mutually incomparable.	 Some handwork
       is certain to be necessary.  Because of floating vectors that may  have
       been missed, It is mandatory to check the l.s file to make sure it cor‐
       responds with reality.
