This document describes the use of config\|(1) to configure and create bootable NetBSD system images. It discusses the structure of system configuration files and how to configure systems with non-standard hardware configurations. Sections describing the preferred way to add new code to the system and how the system's autoconfiguration process operates are included. An appendix contains a summary of the rules used by the system in calculating the size of system data structures, and also indicates some of the standard system size limitations and how to change them. Other configuration options are also listed.
