If you don't have those devices in your machine, you can comment them out of
your kernel config, e.g. look for:

device fe0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq ? vector feintr

And put a '#' in front of it... Then recompile and install the kernel again...
This will _remove_ support for that device from your kernel... Be careful what
you comment out (some things are needed for the machine to boot)

Try to think ahead a bit (e.g. if you know your going to be adding another IDE
drive - leave both IDE drive definitions in the kernel - just 'in case') -
probably a better example is forgetting to include SCSI tape support and then
plugging in a tape drive, and expecting it to work... <G>
