8.2 SunOS 5.X
8.2.2 Accessing New Device Drivers
Should you add new device drivers they should be installed in /kernel. You can add drivers with the add_drv command and remove them with the rm_drv command. Once the driver is installed and the new device connected reboot the system with:
ok boot -r
Alternatively, you can create the file /reconfigure before rebooting. The kernel will then be reconfigured during the boot process.
# touch /reconfigure
# reboot
One of these procedures is required for all drivers not installed initially. It causes the kernel to properly recognize the new drivers during the boot process.
