-.Sh NAME
-.Nm intro
-.Nd introduction to special files and hardware support
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The manual pages in section 4 describe the special files,
-related driver functions, and networking support
-available in the system.
-In this part of the manual, the SYNOPSIS section of
-each configurable device gives a sample specification
-for use in constructing a system description for the
-.Xr config 8
-program.
-The DIAGNOSTICS section lists messages which may appear on the console
-and/or in the system error log
-.Pa /var/log/messages
-due to errors in device operation;
-see
-.Xr syslogd 8
-for more information.
-.Pp
-This section contains both devices
-which may be configured into the system
-and network related information.
-The networking support is introduced in
-.Xr netintro 4 .
-.Sh DEVICE SUPPORT
-This section describes the hardware supported on the SPARC
-platform.
-Software support for these devices comes in two forms.
-A hardware device may be supported with a character or block
-.Em device driver ,
-or it may be used within the networking subsystem and have a
-.Em network interface driver .
-Block and character devices are accessed through files in the file
-system of a special type; see
-.Xr mknod 8 .
-Network interfaces are indirectly accessed through the interprocess
-communication facilities provided by the system; see
-.Xr socket 2 .
-.Pp
-A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
-and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
-into the system.
-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 LIST OF DEVICES
-The devices listed below are supported in this incarnation of
-the system.
-Pseudo-devices are not listed.
-Devices are sorted by their type and driver name;
-not all supported devices are listed.
