AUTOCONF(4)             NetBSD 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 not detected.


DIAGNOSTICS

     CPU type (0x%x) not supported.  You tried to boot NetBSD on a type of CPU
     type which it doesn't (or at least this compiled version of NetBSD
     doesn't) understand.
