Most of the devices that show up in the configuration screen are ISA devices or other non PnP devices. If you've got a newer system with PCI SCSI and network cards, you won't need anything selected in the network or controllers sections. You should remove all devices you know you don't have on your system, since some of the driver probes can cause systems to lock up if the devices are not installed. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
