30.Sh NAME
31.Nm intro
32.Nd introduction to special files and hardware support
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34This section describes the special files, related driver functions,
35and networking support available in the system.
36In this part of the manual, the
37.Sx SYNOPSIS
38section of each configurable device gives a sample specification
39for use in constructing a system description for the
40.Xr config 8
41program.
42The
43.Sx DIAGNOSTICS
44section lists messages which may appear on the console
45and/or in the system error log
46.Pa /var/log/messages
47due to errors in device operation; see
48.Xr syslogd 8
49for more information.
50.Pp
51This section contains both devices which may be configured into the system
52and network related information.
53The networking support is introduced in
54.Xr netintro 4 .
55.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT
56This section describes the hardware supported on the
57.Tn HP PA-RISC
58platform.
59Software support for these devices comes in two forms.
60A hardware device may be supported with a character or block
61.Em device driver ,
62or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
63.Em network interface driver .
64Character and block devices are accessed through files in the file
65system of a special type; see
66.Xr mknod 8 .
67Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
68communication facilities provided by the system; see
69.Xr socket 2 .
70.Pp
71A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
72and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
73into the system.
74When the resultant system is booted, the autoconfiguration facilities
75in the system probe for the device and, if found,
76enable the software support for it.
77If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration
78time it is not accessible at any time afterwards.
79To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, the system must be rebooted.
80.Pp
81The autoconfiguration system is described in
82.Xr autoconf 4 .
83.Sh SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
84A list of
85.Tn HP 9000/700
86models targetted for support is listed below, including basic
87system characteristics.
