You need to do the following things for watch to work for you:

  1. Compile snp device support into your kernel and boot with it.  See
     the handbook and LINT configuration file for instruction on doing
     this.

  2. Make the proper device nodes in /dev.  For instance if you want to
     create only one snoop device:

	# cd /dev
	# sh MAKEDEV snp0

Then you can run `watch' and be the BOFH you always wished to be :-)
