9.1.1 Procedures for adding new hardware to a system

When adding new hardware to a SunOS 4.1.X system may need to reconfigure the kernel before the device will be supported. In general you should follow these steps.

: 1. Reconfigure the kernel to support the device.
: Generate the special files that allow the kernel to communicate with the device. These can generally be created with /dev/MAKEDEV using the mknod command.
: Halt the system and Connect the actual hardware; insert boards, disk, etc.
: Reboot and Change any files that the system uses concerning the new hardware.
