Okay here goes... I would like to write a device driver for Unix Sys5 V3.0 running on an AT&T 3b2/300. I have no problem writing the driver. My problem is, how the heck do I load it into the system?!? Don't I need to set the addresses of the routine into the cdevsw table (it's a character driver)? The only documentation that I can find simply tells me to update /etc/master.d, and or etc/system. Any help that you could send me (email please, I'll post if requested) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Greg By the way, this is a personal machine, so no, I won't cause death and destruction in the wake of my testing :-}.

Drivers are installed and removed using drvinstall(1M). Incidently, drvinstall(1M) assigns the next available major device number, and updates /etc/master automatically. <> Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp., Clarence, New York <> UUCP: {allegra|ames|boulder|decvax|rutgers|watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry <> VOICE: 716/688-1231 {hplabs|ihnp4|mtune|utzoo|uunet}!/ <> FAX: 716/741-9635 {G1,G2,G3 modes} "Have you hugged your cat today?"
