	Action	Make sure configuration file exists and is readable by superusers.
206	Message	%s: illegal option “%s”
	Cause	An unknown option was specified on the command line.
	Action	Check the usage message or the prmconfig(1) manpage for valid options.
207	Message	%s: -p not valid. Processor sets not available.
	Cause	Processor sets are not available on the system.
	Action	Do not specify the -poption for this command on systems where processor
		sets are not available.
208	Message	%s: -m not valid. In-kernel memory controls not available.
	Cause	In-kernel memory controls are not available on the system.
	Action	Do not specify the -moption for this command on systems where in-kernel
