Current userconfig menu in the kernel is very nice (I was surprised when I saw this for the first time), but I believe it is good to have some device configuration menu/option/whatever in /boot. (on bsdi we can disable devices that way. Also, /boot will look for the default settings in /etc/boot.default. In this way the settings can be kept the same over kernel reconfiguration) itojun
