Quiet boots look like this (inspired by BSD/OS):

Silent boots look like this:

changes to which have not yet been checked in.
now carries the name of the attachment (e.g. "tlp_pci" or "audio"),
and cfattach structures are registered at boot time on a per-driver
basis. The cfdriver and cfattach pointers are cached in the device
structure when attached.
devices have been discovered. All finalizer routines are iteratively
invoked until all of them report that they have done no work.
Use this hook to fix a latent bug in RAIDframe autoconfiguration of
RAID sets exposed by the rework of SCSI device discovery.
a vector of indices into the cfdata table to specify potential parents,
record the interface attributes that devices have and add a new "parent
spec" structure which lists the iattr, as well as optionally listing
specific parent device instances.

until all device driver discovery threads have had a chance to do their
work. This in turn blocks initproc's exec of init(8) until root is
mounted and process start times and CWD info has been fixed up.

if you com* at pcmcia?, and com3 and com4 as pcmcia cards, and removed
and reinserted the card that was com3, it would become com5. if you then
removed and reinserted com4, it would become com6. etc.) Now, instead
of incrementing FSTATE_STAR configuration entries for a driver when
a cloning instance is attached, leave it alone, and scan the device softc
array (starting at the first cloning unit number) for units which are
available for use. This wastes a tiny bit of time (can require a linear
scan of the softc table for the device), but device attachment should be
relatively infrequent and the number of units of each type of device
is never particularly large anyway.
- Call configure() after setting up proc0.
- Call initclocks() from configure(), after cpu_configure(). Once the
clocks are running, clear `cold'. Then run interrupt-driven
autoconfiguration.
by Ken Hornstein and myself.
Add flags to struct device, and define one as "active". Devices are
initially active from config_attach(). Their active state may be changed
via config_activate() and config_deactivate().
These new functions assume that the device being manipulated will recursively
perform the action on its children.
Together, config_deactivate() and config_detach() may be used to implement
interrupt-driven device detachment. config_deactivate() will take care of
things that need to be performed at interrupt time, and config_detach()
(which must run in a valid thread context) finishes the job, which may
block.
