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