setup - setup devices and file systems, mount root file system
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include __


___syscall0(int, setup);__


__int setup(void);__

''linux/init/main.c''. It calls initialization functions
for devices and file systems configured into the kernel and
then mounts the root file system.


No user process may call __setup__. Any user process,
even a process with super-user permission, will receive
__EPERM__.
!!RETURN VALUE


__setup__ always returns -1 for a user
process.
!!ERRORS


__EPERM__


Always, for a user process.
!!CONFORMING TO


This function is Linux specific, and should not be used in
programs intended to be portable, or indeed in any programs
at all. Since Linux 2.1.121, no such function exists
anymore. The calling sequence varied: it has had a single
parameter ''void * BIOS'' and at other times a single
parameter ''int magic''.
