Hi!

During boot process I see these lines on the screen:

...

Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.

...

I guess they have something to do with the fact that
I disabled some things (for instance some network 
cards & SCSI devices) in my custom kernel.

These commands seem to come directly from /boot/kernel.conf.
I have not edited that file myself.

Is it safe just to remove these 'di'-commands from kernel.conf?
Or should I leave them there? Why are they there in the first
place because those commands seem not to work?

Regards,
PSL
