Obviously these are devices that GENERIC had that my new one does not - how do I get the boot process to stop loading these non-existant drivers? It's not trying to load them, it's trying to disable them. You have a old kernel.conf laying around in /boot (see below). The best thing to do is edit /boot/loader.conf so it does not try to load it. > Also - the boot process spends a lot of time timing out on the ata master/slaves - because I have nothing hooked up to then (except one dvd on ata0 master.). *shrug* I reboot once every few months. A few seconds has never bothered me enough to try to tune the boot speed. No ideas. Those errors you get though... they don't look right.
