38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.Cd "ibus0 at mainbus0"
40.Cd "ibus0 at tc? slot ? offset ?
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42.Nm
43is a virtual device corresponding to the pmax internal I/O space found
44on DEC 2100, 3100, 5100 and 5000/200 systems.
45.Pp
46Internal I/O space spans the pmax physical address space, and is
47mapped permanently in the kernel virtual space at the very early time
48of the kernel startup procedure.
