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.
Normally, the system uses the disk from which it was loaded as the
root filesystem. If that is not possible, or 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.

doesn't (or at least this compiled version of
NetBSD doesn't) understand.
