You must previously have disabled them through ``boot -c''. This
saves the settings to /boot/boot.conf and runs like an auto-answer
file for the boot time config editor. As you have not included
these in your new kernel it doesn't know what they are (``di ze0''
means "disable ze0").
BTW, don't just comment out the entries in boot.conf or you'l get
errors like:
config> # pnp 1 0 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5
Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help.
