For some reason, I get the following output from dmesg:

What are the config>  di xx0 about?  Everything seems to work, but I'd like 
to fix this if possible.  The only other bit of information I have about this 
is a file named kernel.conf which contains all of the xxx0 entries:

> cat /boot/kernel.conf
di sn0
di lnc0
di ie0
di fe0
di cs0
q

What's the purpose of kernel.conf or do I need it at all?  Any help with this 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
