E.g. I/O addresses in a VAXen are octal. .It change Ar devno|dev Modify one or more devices. .It disable Ar devno|dev Disable one or more devices. .It enable Ar devno|dev Enable one or more devices. .It exit Continue boot. .It find Ar devno|dev Find one or more devices. .It help Give a short summary of all commands and its arguments. .It list Show all known devices a screen at the time. .It lines Op Ar count Setup the number of rows per page. .It quit Continue boot. .It show Op Ar attr Op Ar val Show devices with an attribute and optional with a specified value. .El .Pp .Sh EXAMPLES Your ethernet card isn't found at boot because the configuration don't match the hardware. E.g. wrong IRQ in OpenBSD/i386. You know that your ethernet card is using the eddriver. .Pp .Bd -literal UKC> find ed\\n 81 ed0 at isa0 port 0x280 size 0 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 0 irq 9 drq -1 pnpid -1 82 ed1 at isa0 port 0x250 size 0 iomem 0xd8000 iosiz 0 irq 9 drq -1 pnpid -1 83 ed2 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem 0xcc000 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 84 ed* at pcmcia0 port 0x300 size 0x20 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 slot -1 UKC> .Ed .Pp Ok, ed2 seems to match the configuration except IRQ 5 instead of IRQ 10. So change irq on ed2 with the change command. Specify device by name or number. .Pp .Bd -literal UKC> change ed2\\n 83 E ed2 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem 0xcc000 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 change (y/n) ? y\\n port [0x300] ? \\n size [0] ? \\n iomem [0xcc000] ? \\n iosiz [0] ? \\n irq [10] ? 5\\n drq [-1] ? \\n pnpid [-1] ? \\n 83 ed2 changed 83 ed2 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem 0xcc000 iosiz 0 irq 5 drq -1 pnpid -1 UKC> .Ed .Pp Another case is when a none existing device is wrongly found when another device is found at the probed location. One known case is the Mitsumi none ATAPI cdrom in OpenBSD/i386. The simplest thing to solve that problem is to disable mcd0. .Pp .Bd -literal UKC> find mcd0\\n 29 mcd0 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 UKC> disable mcd0\\n 29 mcd0 disabled UKC> find 29\\n 29 mcd0 at isa0 disable port 0x300 size 0 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 .Ed .Pp The show command is useful for finding which devices has a certain attribute. It can even show us all devices with an certain value of the attribute. .Bd -literal UKC> show slot\\n 1 ahc* at eisa0 slot -1 3 ep0 at eisa0 slot -1 6 ep* at eisa0 slot -1 8 ep* at pcmcia* port 0x300 size 0x10 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 slot -1 40 com3 at pcmcia* port 0x2e8 size 8 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 3 drq -1 slot -1 84 ed* at pcmcia* port 0x300 size 0x20 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 slot -1 86 ahb* at eisa0 slot -1 87 fea* at eisa0 slot -1 UKC> show port 0x300\\n 8 ep* at pcmcia* port 0x300 size 0x10 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 slot -1 29 mcd0 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 31 wt0 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 5 drq 1 pnpid -1 58 el0 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 9 drq -1 pnpid -1 60 ie1 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 83 ed2 at isa0 port 0x300 size 0 iomem 0xcc000 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 pnpid -1 84 ed* at pcmcia* port 0x300 size 0x20 iomem -1 iosiz 0 irq 10 drq -1 slot -1 UKC> .Ed .Pp It is possible to add devices, but only devices that already exists in the kernel.
