ABSTRACT:
In an operating system generation method for a computer, at a system initiation, a kernel as the basic portion of the operating system is linked with a plurality of input-output drivers controlling input-output devices. A directory name of each driver and an address thereof in a main memory are stored in a table within the kernel with a correspondence established therebetween, which allows mutual references between the kernel and the input-output drivers and which hence enables the input-output drivers to be generated in an independent fashion with respect to the kernel. As a result, the user can incorporate desired input-output drivers into an operating system depending on a hardware configuration of the computer system.
