AUTOCONF(4) (Mac68k)

AUTOCONF(4) | Kernel Interfaces Manual (Mac68k) | 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 information 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 configured 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.
