It's not an incomplete source tree.  There's nothing in my
kernel config requiring any EISA things so config shouldn't 
make them dependancies.

Like the recent change to deprecate boot.help.  If it's
not required any longer, the loader shouldn't display a 
warning message that boot.help isn't found.

I'll have to peek at how config works to see if in fact 
a simple fix exists.  The simple fix of course is to remove
it from i386.files, that would break other things.  The other
question is, EISA is kinda antique, how long will it remain
supported.  

Would it be ok to send the patch to you for review if I should 
find an easy way to make it ignore EISA for non EISA machines?
