33 .Nd "driver configuration file for boot floppies"
37 is used during the release build process.
40 release includes two installation floppies.
41 The first floppy image,
43 contains a statically linked kernel.
44 The second floppy image,
48 a collection of essential commands necessary for installation, and
49 kernel modules to supplement the boot kernel.
50 Once the system has booted,
51 the modules present in the
53 directory of the mfsroot floppy will automatically be loaded by
57 .Pa /usr/src/release/${arch}/drivers.conf
58 file contains a list of drivers that should be omitted from the boot
59 kernel and installed as kernel modules on the mfsroot floppy.
60 Each driver is described on a separate line; fields on each line are
61 separated by tabs or spaces.
