Amiga (500) kickstart reset sequence

[Yulquen74]

I found this list several places:

1. Clear all chips of old data
2. Disable DMA and interrupts during the test.
3. Clear the screen.
4. Check the hardware ....checks to see if 68000 is functioning.
5. Change screen color.
6. Do a checksum test on all ROMS.
7. Change screen color.
8. Beginning of system startup.
9. Check RAM at $C0000,and move SYSBASE there
10. Test All CHIP RAM.
11. Change screen color.
12. Check that software is coming in ok.
13. Change screen color.
14. Setup CHIP RAM to receive data.
15. Link the libraries
16. Check for additional memory and link it
17. Turn the DMA and interrupts back on.
18. Start a default task.
19. Check for 68010,68020, and or 68881.
20. Check to see if thee is an exception ...processor error

At which point does the machine search for autoconfig devices? 16?

Thanks in advance for replies.

Additional memory is detected via autoconfig so it could happen at the beginning of stage 16 indeed.
This said, Autoconfig can also add external ROM libraries and that would most likely happen during point 15 (link libraries).

I do not recall if this information is in the RKMs but the safe answer for now is "between stage 12 and 16 (included)".
