Section 4 manpages for the mac68k courtesy of Colin Wood
(ender@is.rice.edu). Includes some tweaks by myself including a note of the
true HISTORY of the sn driver. :)

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 will have to be rebooted. +.Pp +The autoconfiguration system is described in +.Xr autoconf 4 . +A list of the supported devices is given below. +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Tn Mac68k +.Nm intro +man page first appeared in +.Nx +1.2 . +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr autoconf 4 , +.Xr config 8 . +.Sh LIST OF DEVICES +The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of +the system. +Devices are indicated by their functional interface. +Not all supported devices are listed. +.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx" -compact -offset indent +.It Em adb +Apple Desktop Bus event interface +.It Em ae +DP8390-based ethernet interface +.It Em asc +Apple Sound Chip +.It Em esp +.Tn NCR +53C9x built-in SCSI interface +.It Em grf +on-board and NuBus-based video interface +.It Em kmem +kernel virtual memory +.It Em ite +Mac68k Internal Terminal Emulator +.It Em mem +physical memory +.It Em ncrscsi +.Tn NCR +5380 built-in SCSI interface +.It Em sbc +.Tn NCR +5380 built-in SCSI interface +.It Em sn +DP83932-based ethernet interface (SONIC) +.It Em zsc +.Tn Zilog +Z8530 built-in serial interface +.El |
