Kernel Loading

See Writing Device Drivers for more information on the sequence of installing and loading device drivers. The basic procedure is to copy your driver to /kernel/drv and your module to /kernel/strmod. For drivers run add_drv(1M).

Note - The autoload facility looks for modules to reside in /kernel/strmod. If the object resides elsewhere the module will not be loaded.
