        !            12: This section describes the special files, related driver functions,
        !            13: and networking support
        !            14: available in the system.
        !            15: In this part of the manual, the SYNOPSIS section of
        !            16: each configurable device gives a sample specification
        !            17: for use in constructing a system description for the

        !            25: This section contains both devices
        !            26: which may be configured into the system, ``4'' entries,

        !            31: .PP
        !            32: A hardware device is identified to the system at configuration time
        !            33: and the appropriate device or network interface driver is then compiled
        !            34: into the system.  When the resultant system is booted, the

        !            39: enable a VERSAbus device which did not autoconfigure, the system will have to
        !            40: be rebooted.
