AUTOCONF(4)         NetBSD/mac68k Kernel Interfaces Manual         AUTOCONF(4)


NAME

     autoconf -- diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code


DESCRIPTION

     When NetBSD bootstraps it probes the innards of the machine on which it
     is running and locates controllers, drives, and other devices, printing
     out what it finds on the console.  This procedure is driven by a system
     configuration table which is processed by config(1) and compiled into
     each kernel.  Devices which exist in the machine but are not configured
     into the kernel are usually not detected.  The exception to this is the
     case of NuBus expansion boards.  All NuBus slots are probed, and informa-
     tion about any cards found is reported even if the card is not currently
     configured.


DIAGNOSTICS

     %s%d at obio0: %s.  The system is configuring an onboard I/O controller.

     addr %x not configured.  An onboard I/O controller was encountered that
     is not configured into the kernel.

     %s at nubus%d slot %x.  The system is configuring a NuBus expansion card
     in slot %x.

     %s at nubus%d slot %x: %s (Vendor: %s, Part: %s Type: %x %x %x %x) not
     configured.  A NuBus expansion card was encountered that is not config-
     ured into the kernel.  `Vendor' is the manufacturer of the board, `Part'
     is the name of the board, and `Type' is the Apple-defined type.

     %s: channel %d not configured.  A serial device channel was encountered
     that is not configured into the kernel.

     %s at %s not configured.  A device which was configured into the kernel
     was unable to properly initialize itself.
