As your system starts up, it performs a series of diagnostic tests.
A display similar to the one in Figure 6–2 appears on the screen

The startup display provides the status of hardware components
in your system. The two columns provide the following
information:
• Devnam indicates the device (or component) name
• Devstat lists the device status following the initial hardware
