When using the FBSD bootable CDROM to install FBSD the first thing to display on the screen is the 'Kernel configuration menu'. The handbook says to select the 'Start kernel configuration in full-screen visual mode' which takes you to the 'Kernel Device Configuration Visual Interface' screen that always has 7 irq conflicts. The 7 conflicts are built into FBSD because the Nic cards the irq conflicts are on are all old style ISA cards, and just responding with a Q to quite without deleting the conflicts causes no problems. This seems like it's no longer necessary to stop at this screen and that at the first screen 'Kernel configuration menu' the 'Skip kernel configuration and continue with installation' option should be the one taken. My question, what purpose does the 'Kernel Device Configuration Visual Interface' screen serve and can people safely use the 'Skip kernel configuration and continue with installation' from the 'Kernel configuration menu'?
