If everything is working, then ignore them.  If they are driving you
nuts, then you can shut it up by doing this:

% cat >> /etc/conf.modules

alias net-pf-3 off    # don't ever load the ax25 module
alias net-pf-4 off    # don't ever load the ipx module
alias net-pf-5 off    # don't ever load the appletalk module

You can do the same for nls-cp437 but you really should have that one
available.  (Code page 437 is, if I recall, standard US code page,
similar to what dos used to use by default).

> Can't find module Block-major-8

I'm not sure about block-major-8 but I'm pretty sure that this refers
to the scsi hard drive devices.  If you don't have a scsi card/HD on
your system, you can turn this off the same way.  If you do, then I
guess that it would be obvious that it isn't working :-)

Warning:  this works for kerneld with 2.0.x kernels, and I have yet to
find the time to start playing around with the new 2.2.x kernels.

I would presume that things aren't _too_ different in this regard with
the new kmod stuff, so other people will have to correct me here.
Actually, if my suggestion works, then I'd appreciate a reply to let
me (us) know...

Cheers
Tony
