A hardware +device may be supported with a character or block +.Em device driver , +or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a +.Em network interface driver . +Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file +system of a special type; see +.Xr mknod 8 . +Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess +communication facilities provided by the system; see +.Xr socket 2 . +.Pp +A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time +and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled +into the system. When the resultant system is booted, the +autoconfiguration facilities in the system probe for the device +and, if found, enable the software support for it. +If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration +time it is not accessible at any time afterwards. +To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, +the system must be rebooted. +.Pp +The autoconfiguration system is described in +.Xr sun2/autoconf 4 . +A list of the supported devices is given below. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr config 1 , +.Xr cd 4 , +.Xr sd 4 , +.Xr ss 4 , +.Xr st 4 , +.Xr sun2/autoconf 4 +.Sh SUPPORTED SYSTEMS +The following Sun2 system architectures and models are supported: +.Bl -tag -width eeprom +.It sun2 +Sun2 systems: (MC68010) +.br +Sun 2/120, 2/170 (10 MHz) +.br +.El +.Sh LIST OF DEVICES +The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of +the system.
