You can also do the following :
- Boot your 9x9 from primary (as Lars said, it's going to be "configured"
anyway, regardless of other settings)
- Go to ISL
- At ISL, go into ODE (Offline Diagnostics Environment)
- At ODE prompt, type in RUN MAPPER
- Mapper is then going to output a nicely formatted hardware map, complete
with paths, ids, etc, of everything it sees.
- Print a hardcopy (if you're on a PC) or write everything down (if you're
unlucky)
You now have everything you need to reconfigure your machine correctly into
sysgen.
