You configured your kernel on bootup (probably with the visual userconfig, unless you like typing more than most) and disabled several devices that you didn't have. Then, when you built a new kernel, the make install (wisely!) didn't zap your kernel.conf. /boot/kernel.conf can safely be deleted--it isn't required to boot. The worst that can happen is you will have left a conflict somewhere, in which case you'll just have to recnofigure your kernel. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
