What is it?
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This utility is taken almost in its entirety from /stand/sysinstall. It allows
|
|
to gather device configuration which possibly was changed in userconfig (-c)
|
|
session, and to save it to /kernel.config file on startup floppy, so that when
|
|
user boots next time, the settings will automatically be changed.
|
|
|
|
How can I use it?
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The best way is to call it from /etc/rc in such phase when the startup floppy
|
|
is mounted, and redirect its output to /kernel.config on the floppy.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You need first to create symbols' list, using 'dumpnlist' utility, and
|
|
place it in /stand/symbols.
|
|
|
|
Usage is straightforward:
|
|
|
|
kget -incore|kernel_name output_filename [vanilla]
|
|
|
|
In simplest form you can do
|
|
|
|
kget -incore -
|
|
|
|
to list current in core parameters, or
|
|
|
|
kget kernel_file -
|
|
|
|
to see settings of another kernel.
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
kget -incore - /stand/vanilla
|
|
|
|
to produce list of changes from 'vanilla' configuration. You can redirect this
|
|
list to /kernel.config file with no changes - it already contains required
|
|
keywords.
|
|
|
|
Credits (according to jkh) go to Eric L. Hernes for 95% of this code. The
|
|
rest is mine :-)
