sdevice(4)                                                       sdevice(4)

NAME
     sdevice - file format

SYNOPSIS
     sdevice

DESCRIPTION
     The sdevice file contains local system configuration information for
     each of the devices specified in the mdevice file. It contains one or
     more entries for each device specified in mdevice. sdevice is present
     in the directory /etc/conf/cf.d, and is coalesced from component files
     in the directory /etc/conf/sdevice.d. Files in /etc/conf/sdevice.d are
     the system file components either delivered with the base system or
     installed later via idinstall.

     Each entry must contain the following whitespace-separated fields:

     1.   Device name: This field contains the internal name of the driver.
          This must match one of the names in the first field of an mdevice
          file entry.

     2.   Configure: This field must contain the character "Y" indicating
          that the device is to be installed in the kernel. For testing
          purposes, an "N" may be entered indicating that the device will
          not be installed.

     3.   Unit: This field can be encoded with a device dependent numeric
          value. It is usually used to represent the number of subdevices
          on a controller or pseudo-device. Its value must be within the
          minimum and maximum values specified in fields 7 and 8 of the
          mdevice entry.

     4.-10.
          Not used.
