When I boot the new kernel I get the following 3 messages in the boot log for every device that I removed from the generic kernel. The new kernel boots ok except for these errors messages. I think these errors are causing the SIO0-3 devices to also be flagged as in error causing my external modem on com1 not to be found. The generic kernel finds my com1 modem just fine. The sio device definitions are the same in both kernels. I had to turn on the verbose flag during the boot to make these messages show up. config di xxx No such device xxx Invalid command or syntax. Type '?' for help. Where xxx is one of the devices I removed. This must mean that there is some other configuration file containing these Config di xxx statements that the booter is reading. Could not find any reference in the FBSD handbook about this. What is the path/name of the file I must edit to remove these statements to put it in sync with the devices in my new kernel?
