37.Sh NAME
38.Nm autoconf
39.Nd diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41When
42.Tn NetBSD
43bootstraps it probes the innards of the machine
44on which it is running
45and locates controllers, drives, and other devices, printing out
46what it finds on the console.  This procedure is driven by a system
47configuration table which is processed by
48.Xr config 8
49and compiled into each kernel.
50Devices which exist in the machine but are not configured into the
51kernel are usually not detected.
52The exception to this is the case of
53.Tn NuBus
54expansion boards.
55All
56.Tn NuBus
57slots are probed,
58and information about any cards found is reported even if the card
59is not currently configured.
