33.Dt AUTOCONF 4 hp300
34.Os
35.Sh NAME
36.Nm autoconf
37.Nd diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39When
40.Nx
41bootstraps it probes the innards of the machine
42on which it is running
43and locates controllers, drives, and other devices, printing out
44what it finds on the console.  This procedure is driven by a system
45configuration table which is processed by
46.Xr config 1
47and compiled into each kernel.
48.Pp
49Autoconfiguration on the
50.Tn HP300 Ns s
51is similar to that on the
52.Tn VAX ,
53the primary difference is in the naming conventions.
54On the
55.Tn HP300 ,
56if devices exist which are not configured they will be ignored;
57if devices exist of unsupported type they will be ignored.
58.Pp
59Normally, the system uses the disk from which it was loaded as the root
60filesystem.
61If that is not possible,
62a generic system will use
63.Sq Li rd0
64if it exists.
65If such a system is booted with the
66.Dv RB_ASKNAME
67option (see
68.Xr reboot 2 ) ,
69then the name of the root device is read from the console terminal at boot
70time, and any available device may be used.
71.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
72.Bl -diag
73.It CPU type not configured.
74You tried to boot
75.Nx
76on a
77.Tn CPU
78type which it doesn't
79(or at least this compiled version of
80.Nx
81doesn't) understand.
82.Pp
83.It hpibbus%d at sc%d, ipl %d.
84An
85.Tn HP-IB
86was found at sc%d (the select code)
87with ipl%d (interrupt priority level).
88.Nx
89will call it hpibbus%d.
90.Pp
91.It %s%d: %s.
92.It %s%d at hpibbus%d, slave %d.
93An
94.Tn HP-IB
95disk or tape controller was found.
96For disks
97.Ql %s%d
98will look like
99.Sq Li rd0 ,
100for tapes like
101.Sq Li ct0 .
102The
103.Ql %s
104in the first line will be a product type like ``7945A'' or ``9144''.
105The slave number comes from the address select switches on the drive.
106.Pp
107.It grf0 csr 0x560000
108.It grf%d at sc%d
109A bit mapped display was found either at the ``internal'' address (first case)
110or at some ``external'' select code (second case).
111If it exists, the internal display will always be unit 0.
112.Pp
113.It %s%d at sc%d, ipl %d flags %d
114Another peripheral controller was found at the indicated select code
115and with indicated interrupt priority level.
116.Ql %s
117will be one of
118.Xr com 4
119(single-port serial interfaces),
120.Xr hp300/dcm 4
121(four-port serial interfaces), or
122.Xr le 4
123.Pf ( Tn LAN
124cards).
125The slave number comes from the address select switches on the interface card.
