AUTOCONF(4)          NetBSD/alpha Kernel Interfaces Manual         AUTOCONF(4)

NAME
     autoconf -- diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code

DESCRIPTION
     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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Support for system type %d is not present in this kernel.  You tried to
     boot NetBSD on a class of CPU type which it doesn't (or at least this
     compiled version of NetBSD doesn't) understand.

     NetBSD does not yet support system type %d (%s).  You tried to boot
     NetBSD on an unsupported system.

     WARNING: can't figure what device matches %s.  Unknown device.

     PALcode not valid  You tried to boot NetBSD on a system with an unknown
     version of the PALcode.
