 NAME
      devices - file of driver information for insf, mksf, lssf

 DESCRIPTION
      The devices file contains a description of I/O drivers, pseudo-
      drivers, hardware addresses and block/character major numbers.  It is
      created by uxgen (see uxgen(1M)).  This file normally resides in the
      directory /etc.

      This is an ASCII file consisting of zero or more lines where each line
      is terminated by a new-line character.  Each line begins with a name
      which normally represents an I/O driver or pseudo-driver.  Tokens are
      separated by white space.

      Each parameter in the line is preceded by a keyword.  All parameters
      are optional.  The keywords are: lu, address, b_major, and c_major.
      representing logical unit number, hardware address, block major
      number, character major number, respectively.  Parameters can appear
      in any order after the name; however, they must be directly preceded
      by their keyword.

      The following lines represent typical entries in a devices file:

           cn                                           c_major 0
           disc0   lu 0    address 28.0.0  b_major 0    c_major 4
           disc0   lu 1    address 28.0.2  b_major 0    c_major 4
