What has happened is that in the past (when you were using a GENERIC kernel) you did a ``boot -c'' and disabled all those devices. this info gets saved in /boot/kernel.conf (or similarly named file) and used everytime you boot. Now that you have a custom kernel without these devices they can't be disabled during boot. Remove all the relevant entries from /boot/kernel.conf (or rm(1) the whole file) and the messages will go away. > > This, of course, is not critical, but a bit disturbing and I'd like to > know what causes these messages. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
