No clue what this means...

I thought it was recommended to leave cpu's be that equal yer's or are
greater...

Remove that line, it's generally better to check for F00F with pentiums.

Ye really need eisa0?

Ye also have a LS-120? =)

Surely there's no need for 4 diff cd-rom drivers? either use acd0, mcd0,
matcd0 or scd0. cd0 is SCSI.
Also, I gather yer using a mixed IDE/SCSI system?

Ye need 4 COM-ports? Just verifying.

Why not add options DDB for crash debugging?
