3. Save the
/etc/system
file.
4. Save all files and exit all programs, exit the windowing system.
5. Reboot the system by typing

Setting Parameters Using the
qfe.conf
File
You can also specify the properties described in the section, “Setting Parameters in
the
/etc/system
File,” on a per-device basis by creating a
qfe.conf
file in the
/kernel/drv
directory. The properties set in the
qfe.conf
file will override the
parameters set in the
/etc/system
file. Use a
qfe.conf
file when you need to set
a particular parameter for a device in the system. The parameters you set are read
and write parameters that are listed in “Driver Parameter Values and Definitions” on
page 24.
The man pages for
prtconf
(1M),
system
(4) and
driver.conf
(4) include
additional details. The next section shows an example of setting parameters in a
qfe.conf
file.
set qfe:qfe_ipg1 = 10
set qfe:qfe_ipg2 = 5
