The closest thing is the MAP command from the boot PROM (11/73/83, etc.) - it

It will depend
on the board as to just how much info you're able to
get from the console on a PDP-11.
About the best you can do with a PDP-11, even a fairly "modern" one like
a 11/73, is to use console ODT to see if the device CSRs respond. I've
never seen a PDP-11 microcode or boot ROM with anything even close to "SHOW
DEVICE". From RT you can do a "show device"
From RSX MCR "DEV" or DCL "SHOW
DEVICES"
