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.
45This procedure is driven by a system
46configuration table which is processed by
47.Xr config 1
48and compiled into each kernel.
49.Pp
50Normally, the system uses the disk from which it was loaded as the root
51filesystem.
52If that is not possible,
53or if such a system is booted with the
54.Dv RB_ASKNAME
55option (see
56.Xr reboot 2 ) ,
57then the name of the root device is read from the console terminal at boot
58time, and any available device may be used.
59.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
