OK, I get it now

My kernel.conf has (comments are mine):

Di pcic0
Di bt0
Di aic0
Di aha0
Di adv0 
# Don't initialize at boot any of the devices
above
En sn0  # Enable this network interface
Po sn0 0xde00   # at this i/o address
Ir sn0 10   # at this irq
F sn0 0 # Don't know what this means...?
Q   # Stop looking for devices...?

(or the corresponding file beyond /usr/src ...) or the appropriate file 
(LINT) of your RELENG might be useful. LINT is NOTES now (since 5.x iirc).

Hello everybody,

I'm sorry for the long mail, but I really need your help. Please read it
before removing :-)
I just have my new kernel (where I disabled almost SCSI devices) but during
start-up there are errors as follows:
config> di pcic0
No such device: pcic0
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> di bt0

What are these devices ? Why they are there, when I rem all lines 
concerning
about them in my kernel config file ?

Also, my machine has Matrox Millenium card. I tried tu set it up into VESA
mode and use 132x43 cols/lns, but the last message before showing login
screen is: "vidcontrol: cannot set video mode. Operation not supported by
device". Matrox was found:
VESA: v2.0, 2048k memory, flags:0x1, mode table:0xc030a302 (122)
VESA: Matrox Graphics Inc.
[skipped]
pci0:  at 11.0 irq 11
but sc0 still goes into VGA mode:

vga0:  at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa-0xb on isa0
sc0:  at flags 0x100 on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300>
How to make it to go into VESA mode ? How to make kernel to use Matrox
Millenium driver ?
The last question is about CD-ROM. Ata is working properly:

atapci0:  port
0x2000-0x200f,0-0x3,0-0x7,0-0x3,0-0x7 irq 15 at device 20.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
[skipped]
acd0: CDROM  at ata0-master PIO4
CD-ROM is found, but I still can not use it (mount does not work, writing:
READ_TOC command timeout - resetting
resetting devices ... done
read data overrun 12/0
I encountered this problem during installation, too. I was not able to
install FreeBSD from the CD the install boot from, so I installed it from
MSDOS partition (I mounted temporarily. I have only one SCSI HDD and ATA
CD-ROM in my machine.
Why I can not use my CDROM :-( ?

Please help, if you can :-)

This is because the boot-sequence is reading /boot/kernel.conf. If
you've removed all these devices from the kernel you can:

# rm /boot/kernel.conf
