  Since I have to rebuild a new kernel for my IDE CD-ROM,
  I'd like to hear you all in some points:

  1) Should I comment out those devices or options I don't need in
     MY_KERNEL config file?

  2) What's good and bad if, for example, I comment out those
     scsi devices except the one fits my scsi card?

  3) Will a smaller kernel speed up ay boot time? if so, how to
     make a kernel small?

  BTW, thanks for you all.  I can't fine many FreeBSD companions
  here in Taipei, and worse no FreeBSD related local news groups,
  I then have to post every questions here.
