Can someone explain to me what the arguments mean?
the 1 and the 0 baffle me
"enable" seems like a positive thing to say
"os" what os?  what else would I enable but the os?

"drq0 0", "irq0 3" and "port0 0x2f8" are pretty clear from the archives,
though I don't know what a drq is, I guess I could look it up somewhere.

I've find a few unanswered pleas for kernel.conf documentation such as
this.  Does anyone have any?
