Warning and Error Messages

Determining Installation Parameters

Command Line Configuration for dinstall

March 2013
If the driver has an error or warning to report (often related to driver
startup problems), the report always appears on the system console,
if such a device exists for that platform. Additionally, a limited
amount of messages are sometimes available if you use the crash
command and select the panic option. These messages are logged to
the /var/log/messages text file.
Any time after you install the driver (but not removed) you can
determine what installation parameters were used by looking at the
/etc/startbost file.
When configuring the device driver using dinstall, you can specify
the command line option -c to cause the dinstall program to not
prompt you for any parameters. Instead, the dinstall program uses
the responses that you supply following the -c option on the
command line.
If you use the -c option, you must include all the parameters
described below, in order, regardless of whether or not the
parameter has meaning on the system in question. If a parameter
does not apply, it is ignored. The parameters are not checked for
validity.
Note: Prompting for removal of old driver versions is not performed.
When configuring the driver using dinstall, you must include the
following parameters:
