30.Sh NAME
31.Nm intro
32.Nd introduction to special files and hardware support
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34This section describes the special files, related driver functions,
35and networking support available in the system.
36In this part of the manual,
37the SYNOPSIS section of each configurable device gives a sample specification
38for use in constructing a system description for the
39.Xr config 8
40program.
41The DIAGNOSTICS section lists messages which may appear on the console
42and/or in the system error log
43.Pa /var/log/messages
44due to errors in device operation; see
45.Xr syslogd 8
46for more information.
47.Pp
48This section contains both devices which may be configured into the system
49and network related information.
50The networking support is introduced in
51.Xr netintro 4 .
52.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT
53This section describes the hardware supported on the
54.Tn HP PA-RISC
55platform.
56Software support for these devices comes in two forms.
57A hardware device may be supported with a character or block
58.Em device driver ,
59or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
60.Em network interface driver .
61Character and block devices are accessed through files in the file
62system of a special type; see
63.Xr mknod 8 .
64Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
65communication facilities provided by the system; see
66.Xr socket 2 .
67.Pp
68A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
69and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
70into the system.
71When the resultant system is booted, the autoconfiguration facilities
72in the system probe for the device and, if found,
73enable the software support for it.
74If a device does not respond at autoconfiguration
75time it is not accessible at any time afterwards.
76To enable a device which did not autoconfigure, the system must be rebooted.
77.Pp
78The autoconfiguration system is described in
79.Xr autoconf 4 .
80.Sh SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
81A list of
82.Tn HP 9000/700
83models targetted for support is listed below, including basic
84system characteristics.
