56.Sh NAME
57.Nm intro
58.Nd introduction to special files and hardware support
59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60This section describes the special files, related driver functions,
61and networking support available in the system.
62In this part of the manual,
63the SYNOPSIS section of each configurable device gives a sample specification
64for use in constructing a system description for the
65.Xr config 8
66program.
67The DIAGNOSTICS section lists messages which may appear on the console
68and/or in the system error log
69.Pa /var/log/messages
70due to errors in device operation; see
71.Xr syslogd 8
72for more information.
73.Pp
74This section contains both devices which may be configured into the system
75and network related information.
76The networking support is introduced in
77.Xr netintro 4 .
78.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT
79This section describes the hardware supported on the
80.Tn HP PA-RISC
81platform.
82Software support for these devices comes in two forms.
83A hardware device may be supported with a character or block
84.Em device driver ,
85or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
86.Em network interface driver .
87Character and block devices are accessed through files in the file
88system of a special type; see
89.Xr mknod 8 .
90Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
91communication facilities provided by the system; see
92.Xr socket 2 .
93.Pp
94A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
95and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
96into the system.
97When the resultant system is booted, the autoconfiguration facilities
98in the system probe for the device and, if found,
99enable the software support for it.
100If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration
101time, it is not accessible at any time afterwards.
102To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, the system must be rebooted.
103.Pp
104The autoconfiguration system is described in
105.Xr autoconf 4 .
106.Sh SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
107A list of
108.Tn HP 9000/700
109models targeted for support is listed below, including basic
110system characteristics.
