Type `?' for help. > config> di le0 > No such device: le0 > Invalid command or syntax. Type `?' for help. > [continues for some more devices] This is the userconfig script being run. Apparently, at some point during your system's life, you used the interactive userconfig interface to configure your hardware (probably when you first installed it). Those settings are saved in /boot/kernel.conf. You just need to edit it and remove all references to hardware you don't have (or just delete it, if you don't need anything in it). These didn't appear when you booted the generic kernel because support for these devices was compiled in, so it wasn't an error to try to configure them.
