First impressions + one question

Well I finally got a day of hands on use of one of the new 6000
series boxes from IBM. We are waiting delivery of our own 320 at present
so I went over to the local IBM offices and used one of their machines for
day.
My first impression was that porting software to this box is
not going to be a case of running make. It would appear that the includes
have been greatly changed and figuring out the right combinations of
#define will take some time. The following are my questions after one
day of use of the box:
1) How do you reconfigure the kernel ?????
- in particular I need to raise ulimit
- I looked for all the normal commands like mkunix
and none appeared to be present as well I looked
through the info pages and smit and could find
nothing appropriate.
2) What is special about the /dev/ directory that running
ls /dev would appear to invoke a number of processes?????
3) How does the bidirectional getty handle locking ???
- this is in reference to getting kermit working
on bidirectional ports.
4) Are there any standard compiler flags for compiling
code moved from a standard SYS V environment ?
Thanks for any input
