DRIVERLOADER(8)     UNIX Programmer's Manual	  DRIVERLOADER(8)

NAME
     driverLoader - load or configure a driver

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/driverLoader [ aiv ] [ d=deviceName ] [ instance ]

DESCRIPTION
     driverLoader loads or configures a driver after boot time.
     driverLoader is normally used in the script /etc/rc during
     automatic reboot.

     The d option configures one device interactively.	This is
     how you load drivers that aren't specified in the system
     configuration, and is generally used to test a device
     driver.  For example, specifying the -d option as in this
     command:

	  /usr/etc/driverLoader d=Adaptec1542B

     initiates an interactive dialog (user input in bold):

	  Answer queries with 'y' for 'yes', anything else is 'no'.
	  Execute Pre-Load file (pre-load filename)? y
	  Load driver Adaptec1542B? y
	  Configure driver Adaptec1542B unit 0? y
	  Execute Post-Load file (post-load filename)? y

     The queries about Pre-Load and Post-Load files only appear
     if the driver supports such files. The filenames for the
     Pre-Load and Post-Load files are specific to a given driver.

     You provide the instance argument to specify an
     Instancen.table file. For example, if you specify instance
     as 1, the driver will be probed using the information in its
     Instance1.table file.

OPTIONS
     a	  Configure all devices.  This option is generally used
	  when driverLoader is run during system boot in the
	  script /etc/rc.

     d=deviceName
	  Configure deviceName interactively.

     i	  Enable interactive mode to view all active and boot
	  drivers in the system configuration.

     v	  Produce verbose output.

EXAMPLES
     /usr/etc/driverLoader d=fooDriver

     /usr/etc/driverLoader d=fooDriver 1
