I see things like: # KTRACE enables the system-call tracing facility ktrace(2). # This adds 4 KB bloat to your kernel, and slightly increases # the costs of each syscall. options KTRACE #kernel tracing and # This provides support for System V shared memory. # options SYSVSHM in GENERIC. I'd also say you could do without things like procfs. In other words, maybe an INSTALL kernel is in order?
