22. Initialize the free memory pool.
23. Execute the configboard function if the “s” key was not pressed.
If DoPCIConfig is set in NVRAM, configboard maps the base addresses of PCI
devices. It then configures the MMU and caches. If diagnostics are enabled in
NVRAM,
configboard performs an address mirror test on system memory
above address 0x40000. This test also executes (even when diagnostics are
not enabled) if the board contains SDRAM parity and it is enabled with the
MemParity NVRAM parameter.
24. If PowerUpDiags or ResetDiags is set in NVRAM, execute and display the
results of the following power-up diagnostics on the console: cache, counter/
timer, Ethernet controller, and serial port tests. Display errors on the console.
The NVRAM flag (Table 10-1) reports any failures.
25. Branch execution to StartMonitor, which checks the boot device.
If a boot device (BootDev) is specified, begin the countdown to autoboot.
After the countdown, boot from the selected device. If boot device is “none”,
the user interrupts the countdown by pressing “H”, or any powerup tests fail
and HaltOnFailure NVRAM boot parameter is set, skip the autoboot and start
the line editor.
