    "Should a SYSGEN AUTOCONFIGURE ALL be executed?"

    If you answer YES, the NET$CONFIGURE procedure will invoke the
    SYSGEN AUTOCONFIGURE ALL command to find devices. If you are
    performing the initial configuration of your system and you
    answer NO, then there will be no devices to configure. If you
    are reconfiguring devices (that is, you selected Option 3 from
    the NET$CONFIGURE main menu) and you answer NO, then there will
    be no devices to configure and the procedure exits.
