I don't think you understand.  Do you have ANY reference to a de0
device in your kernel config file?  If so, you should have removed it
when you removed the pci0 line - it is a PCI device!  If you don't
have a de0 device, then the REAL problem is that if_de.c is being
compiled for your machine for absolutely no reason.
