Appendix B
For a source distribution tape, the source file should be copied into
the appropriate directory.
11. Install the object code for the XNS protocols in the kernel
configuration directory in /sys. For a source distribution tape, this
step can be skipped since the driver will be installed by the make
procedure. For a binary distribution tape, it is critical that the date
last edited for these files be more recent than the corresponding
empty source file.
12. Check for differences between net/kernel/conf.c and /sys/vax/conf.c.
The prototype device switch is in /net/kernel/conf.c. The new character
device must appear in the data structure cdevsw in the file conf.c.
Major devices are defined in the 4.2BSD UNIX distribution as items
0 through 32. The device number for the network is 40 so that
SGENERIC can work on a system with local device drivers.
13. Add the Ethernet driver-specific lines in /net/kernel/conf.c to
/sys/vax/conf.c.
14. Change the current directory to the kernel configuration directory in
/sys.
15. Check the dependencies for the Makefile generated by /etc/config.
16. Make a new kernel.
17. Boot the newly created kernel and start multi-user mode.
18. Test the network by copying files across the network.
19. Test the IRIS Terminal by following the procedures in Section 6.1.
