D.1.2 test-all
The test-all command tests all devices in the system that have a self-test
program. Tests are executed in order, using the device tree (viewed with the show-
devs command) as reference. Disks, tapes, and CD-ROMs are not tested by test-
all.
D.1.3 watch-clock
This test reads a register in the NVRAM/TOD (nonvolatile RAM/Time-of-Day) chip
on the main logic board and displays the result as a seconds counter. The counter
should count from 0 to 59 repeatedly until you interrupt it by pressing any key on
the keyboard.
The following screen gives you an example of a watch-clock test.
D.1.4 watch-net, watch-aui, watch-tpe, and
watch-net-all
These tests monitor broadcast Ethernet packets on the Ethernet cable(s) connected to

displayed on the screen. Errors are indicated with an X and the error description.
