Checking system files with error histories

The system maintains a number of files that contain historical information that may give you a clue as to what is causing the problem. The most useful are:

/usr/adm/messages

log of all console messages logged by the kernel, including error messages and system startup information.

/etc/conf/cf.d/config.h

list of kernel parameters with current values. This same information can be viewed with the configure(ADM) command. This information is useful when the system is giving CONFIG error messages.

/dev/string/cfg

list of installed drivers. This same information can be viewed with the hwconfig(C) command.
