Near the top of my dmesg output, I see several 2 line enties about the system's attempt to start several two character programs like: di, dh, si, bh, etc. the second line of all of these entries is that the programs can't be run due to a syntax error or config problem. It doesn't seem to be adversely affecting my system, but I'd still like to "fix" this. After a lot of searching, I found the offending "programs" in the file kern.conf. What's the purpose of this file and what do these two character entries mean?
