                      9: .SH NAME
                     10: autoconf \- diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code
                     11: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     12: When UNIX bootstraps it probes the innards of the machine
                     13: on which it is running
                     14: and locates controllers, drives, and other devices, printing out
                     15: what it finds on the console.  This procedure is driven by a system
                     16: configuration table which is processed by
                     17: .IR config (8)
                     18: and compiled into each kernel.
                     19: .PP
                     20: Autoconfiguration on the HP300s is similar to that on the VAX,
                     21: the primary difference is in the naming conventions.
                     22: On the HP300,
                     23: if devices exist which are not configured they will be ignored;
                     24: if devices exist of unsupported type they will be ignored.
                     25: .PP
                     26: Normally, the system uses the disk from which it was loaded as the root
                     27: filesystem.
                     28: If that is not possible,
                     29: a generic system will use ``rd0'' if it exists.
                     30: If such a system is booted with the RB_ASKNAME option (see
                     31: .IR reboot (2)),
                     32: then the name of the root device is read from the console terminal at boot
                     33: time, and any available device may be used.

                     46: An HP-IB was found at sc%d (the select code)
                     47: with ipl%d (interrupt priority level).
                     48: UNIX will call it hpib%d.

                     54: An HP-IB disk or tape controller was found.
                     55: For disks %s%d will look like ``rd0'',
                     56: for tapes like ``ct0''.
                     57: The %s in the first line will be a product type like ``7945A'' or ``9144''.
                     58: The slave number comes from the address select switches on the drive.

                     64: A bit mapped display was found either at the ``internal'' address (first case)
                     65: or at some ``external'' select code (second case).
                     66: If it exists, the internal display will always be unit 0.

                     72: %s will be one of
                     73: ``dca'' (single-port serial interfaces),
                     74: ``dcm'' (four-port serial interfaces), or
