AUTOCONF(4)           OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (HP300)          AUTOCONF(4)

NAME
     autoconf - diagnostics from the autoconfiguration code

DESCRIPTION
     When OpenBSD 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(8) and compiled into
     each kernel.  Devices which exist in the machine but are not configured
     into the kernel are not detected.

     Normally, the system uses the disk from which it was loaded as the root
     filesystem.  If such a system is booted with the RB_ASKNAME option (see
     reboot(2)), then the name of the root device is read from the console
     terminal at boot time, and any available device may be used.
