Thanks! boot.help and boot.config are two new files that come with the new boot blocks on 2.2-STABLE, 2.2.5-RELEASE, and later. You can grab ftp://gdi.uoregon.edu/pub/boot/boot.help and copy it to /boot.help to shut up the first message. For the second, create the file /boot.config and put the boot string for your machine, or try leaving it blank. kernel.config I've never heard of and it doesn't exist on my 2.2.5 machine. If it isn't a showstopper you can probably ignore it.
