# $FreeBSD$ # # This list is semi-obsoleted by DEVFS, but for now it still contains # the current allocation of device major numbers. # # Unless very special circumstants demand otherwise, all device drivers # are able to use a dynamically allocated major number. If the d_maj # element of the cdevsw is uninitialized (preferred) or initialized to # MAJOR_AUTO, this dynamic allocation will happen. # # NOTICE: FreeBSD does not use block major numbers anymore, you neither # need to assign nor use a block major number for any device driver any # more. # # The names marked with a '*' is belived to be allocated for code inside # the CVS tree. # #maj name comments 0 *cn console 1 *ctty /dev/tty 2 *mm /dev/mem,kmem,etc 4 *geom GEOMetry 5 *pts pseudo tty "tty" half 6 *ptc pseudo tty "master" half 7 *log system log 9 *fd floppy disk 10 *wt i386/isa/wt.c 11 *spigot Video capture? 12 *sc syscons/pcvt virtual consoles 14 *sa SCSI "sequential access devices" 16 *lpt PC parallel printer port 17 *ch SCSI changer 18 *nmdm nullmodem back-to-back tty ports 19 *tw X-10 power interface 20 *ng_device Netgraph 21 *psm PS/2 Mouse 22 *fd (/dev/stdin etc) 23 *bpf Berkeley Packet Filter 26 *spkr PC speaker (/dev/spkr) 27 *mse Microsoft bus-mouse 28 *sio 16450/16550 serial 29 *mcd Mitsumi CDROM interface 30 *snd sound driver system 31 *pass SCSI "Application Pass-Thru" 32 lkmc Loadable Kernel Module Controller 33 lkm assigned to Loadable Kernel Modules 34 lkm assigned to Loadable Kernel Modules 35 lkm assigned to Loadable Kernel Modules 36 lkm assigned to Loadable Kernel Modules 37 lkm assigned to Loadable Kernel Modules 38 lkm assigned to Loadable Kernel Modules 39 *apm Advanced Power Management also ACPI 40 *ctx Cortex 42 *cx Cronyx/Sigma serial adapter 43 vn vnode "disk" device (retired) 44 *gp GPIB 45 *scd Sony CDROM interface 46 - - 47 *gsc Genius Scanner 48 *cy Cyclades 51 *joy joystick 52 *tun IP tunnel device 53 *snp tty snoop 54 OLDnic ISDN system 55 *i4b_ctl ISDN4BSD 56 *i4b_tel ISDN4BSD 57 *i4b_rbch ISDN4BSD 58 - Was dgb: Digiboard PC/Xe 59 *i4b_trace ISDN4BSD 60 *i4b_i4bdrv ISDN4BSD 61 *pt SCSI "processor target" 62 worm SCSI "worm type" 63 *rc Riscom/8 driver 64 ??
