I checked /boot/kernel.conf and found those device names listed there as you indicated: $ ls -la kernel.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 38 Feb 11 02:09 kernel.conf $ more kernel.conf di lnc0 di ie0 di fe0 di ed0 di cs0 q $=20 A question though, where you said that I can edit this ("kernel.conf") file, or delete the specific lines, just for my own clarification, either of the following correct? $ more kernel.conf #di lnc0 #di ie0 #di fe0 #di ed0 #di cs0 #q $=20 $ more kernel.conf q <---------- Do I leave this character? Is this some EOF indicator? $ I note that there is a "q" on the last line in kernel.conf, and I'd like to know if by your suggestion, one can safely either comment this out, or delete it altogether (along with all of the preceding device lines)? Thanks for your reply, hope to hear from you again soon.
