37.Dt AUTOCONF 4 hp300
38.Os
39.Sh NAME
40.Nm autoconf
41.Nd diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43When
44.Nx
45bootstraps it probes the innards of the machine
46on which it is running
47and locates controllers, drives, and other devices, printing out
48what it finds on the console.  This procedure is driven by a system
49configuration table which is processed by
50.Xr config 8
51and compiled into each kernel.
52.Pp
53Autoconfiguration on the
54.Tn HP300 Ns s
55is similar to that on the
56.Tn VAX ,
57the primary difference is in the naming conventions.
58On the
59.Tn HP300 ,
60if devices exist which are not configured they will be ignored;
61if devices exist of unsupported type they will be ignored.
62.Pp
63Normally, the system uses the disk from which it was loaded as the root
64filesystem.
65If that is not possible,
66a generic system will use
67.Sq Li rd0
68if it exists.
69If such a system is booted with the
70.Dv RB_ASKNAME
71option (see
72.Xr reboot 2 ) ,
73then the name of the root device is read from the console terminal at boot
74time, and any available device may be used.
75.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
76.Bl -diag
77.It CPU type not configured.
78You tried to boot
79.Nx
80on a
81.Tn CPU
82type which it doesn't
83(or at least this compiled version of
84.Nx
85doesn't) understand.
86.Pp
87.It hpibbus%d at sc%d, ipl %d.
88An
89.Tn HP-IB
90was found at sc%d (the select code)
91with ipl%d (interrupt priority level).
92.Nx
93will call it hpibbus%d.
94.Pp
95.It %s%d: %s.
96.It %s%d at hpibbus%d, slave %d.
97An
98.Tn HP-IB
99disk or tape controller was found.
100For disks
101.Ql %s%d
102will look like
103.Sq Li rd0 ,
104for tapes like
105.Sq Li ct0 .
106The
107.Ql %s
108in the first line will be a product type like ``7945A'' or ``9144''.
109The slave number comes from the address select switches on the drive.
110.Pp
111.It grf0 csr 0x560000
112.It grf%d at sc%d
113A bit mapped display was found either at the ``internal'' address (first case)
114or at some ``external'' select code (second case).
115If it exists, the internal display will always be unit 0.
116.Pp
117.It %s%d at sc%d, ipl %d flags %d
118Another peripheral controller was found at the indicated select code
119and with indicated interrupt priority level.
120.Ql %s
121will be one of
122.Xr dca 4
123(single-port serial interfaces),
124.Xr dcm 4
125(four-port serial interfaces), or
126.Xr le 4
127.Pf ( Tn LAN
128cards).
129The slave number comes from the address select switches on the interface card.
