+1.0 Overview
+
+ This is the README file for the sample loaded file system.
+
+
+2.0 Preparation
+
+ To use this module, you must have a kernel the does *NOT*
+ have an existing "kernfs" file system in it. To determine
+ if your system has the "kernfs" file system in it, check
+ the build file for your kernel (usually this file is named
+ "/sys/i386/conf/GENERICISA") for the following:
+
+ options KERNFS
+
+ By default, NetBSD has this file system compiled as part
+ of the kernel; if you wish to use this example with NetBSD
+ you will have to remove this "options" line and rebuild
+ your kernel.
+
+
+3.0 Directions
+
+ To test the module, do the following:
+
+ cd module
+ make load
+
+ A load message (the copyright) will be printed on the console.
+
+ You must then add the following line to the "/etc/fstab" file:
+
+ kernfs /kern kernfs rw 1 1
+
+ At the root prompt, type the following:
+
+ mkdir /kern
+
+ Ignore the following error if it occurs:
+
+ mkdir: /kern: File exists
+
+ Again at the root prompt, type the following command:
+
+ mount /kern
+ cd /kern
+ cat version
+
+ This will verify that the module is working correctly.
+
+
+4.0 Recovering resources
+
+ The file system consumes 8 pages of memory when loaded; it
+ can be freed up by unloading it. To unload it, type the
+ following from the directory this file is in:
+
+ cd module
+ make unload
+
+ The file system will be unloaded by name.
