autoconf —
diagnostics from the autoconfiguration
code
When NetBSD bootstraps it probes the innards of the
machine on which it is running and locates controllers, drives, and other
devices, printing out what it finds on the console. This procedure is driven
by a system configuration table which is processed by
config(1) and compiled into each kernel. Devices which exist in the
machine but are not configured into the kernel are not detected.
