Ken, like you said an obvious thing, however a very confusing one it can be.
Kerneld is doing what it is told to do by way of the code below, however you
do not seem to need net-pf-5 which is "appeltalk" and is considered a
networking protocol, so kerneld "trys" to load all possably networking
drivers which would/could/may be needed.
To stop kerneld spitting out those messages and indeed stop it trying to
load the module, add a line to /etc/conf.modules
alias net-pf-5 off
That will tell kerneld not to try to load the appeltalk module, and if you
then get a message about net-pf-4 do the same, thats the IPX module.
