I rebuildt my kernel, and right after the kernel loads and the "real memory" message appears, I get a series of messages like: config>di zp0 no such device: zp0 config>di ze0 ...and so on. While there seems to be no harm done, I would just like to clean things up a little, and maybe learn something while I'm at it. I've tried -c and boot time, but I can't find any commands to deactivate these devices. There is a file named /boot/kernel.conf which contains these very entries (ie, di zp0, di ze0, ..., q), and obviously this file is input to a configuration module. Can I delete this file, or at least take all the records out of it with exception of the last one ("q")? I've grepped through A LOT of the src tree looking for a module that reads these records, so I could find out what "di" means and what would happen if the file weren't there. About all I found was a "userconfig_script_name=/boot/kernel.conf" constant defined in it in one of the ../boot sources, but I have no way of finding out what modules include/use that constant. Using man to look up config, boot, even di, is no help. If this stuff is referred to by the Handbook or The Complete FreeBSD book, I haven't been able to locate it.
