Well, almost certainly. You installed FreeBSD on a system. You booted either the FreeBSD boot floppy or the installation CD and went into the visual configuration tool. You de-selected a bunch of things your system didn't have or need to use for the install. You installed the system. You customized your kernel and removed many devices not present or used on your system. These include sn, lnc, ie, fe, bt, aic, aha, and adv. The initial configuration from the floppy/CD created a system with a /boot/kernel.conf that disabled all of these devices, but now that these devices ar no longer present, they are errors. To clean this up, edit /boot/kernel.conf and delete old entries. Don't delete the terminating 'q'. Or, if you don't want anything in the file, edit /boot/loader.conf and delete 'userconfig_script_load="YES"'. I believe that this will cause the system to not run kernel.conf, but I have never tried this. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
