It was running windoze3.1 normally. I doubt about defective RAM.

PCI is definitely unneeded, I only had it there to allow it to boot on a new 
comp. But as I've seen it, it would boot without it: with the message 'loading 
required module pci'. I don't know if it's an EISA or ISA or whatever (google 
images show this and that..), so now I have 'device eisa' and 'isa'.

floating point emulation... What about it? Is that required? The old proc doesnt 
support it. It was removed since 5.3, I've heard...

CPUs, SCSIs removed, faith removed.
Currently I don't have anything useful on the old board, such as a net card, but 
I'm planning to use it as a router, and I should be able to do VPN stuff. So 
I've left gif and tunnel and ppp. When I do have a NIC, I will enable some NIC 
support.
I've never used a printer/parallel port or a serial port, but google images 
revealed that I have them, so I've left them there.
I gather pty is for su's. Why do i need md?
Well, if a standard 6.2 installation doesn't use 4.x or 5.x binaries by default, 
like 3.4 binaries, then I will remove it.
Removed PS/2 mouse. Included MSDOS for mounting floppies.
What about apic?

Current kernel: [ATTACHMENT]. No CPU optimizations used, make.conf: 
[ATTACHMENT]. Result: after the beastie menu, the kernel ticks for a half a 
second, then the computer reboots.


NEXT: I'm going to compile a bare kernel at some time. And see if it works.

# NOTE:  Please would any committer updating this file also update the

# src/share/man/man5/make.conf.5.
#
# /etc/make.conf, if present, will be read by make (see
# /usr/share/mk/sys.mk).  It allows you to override macro definitions
# to make without changing your source tree, or anything the source
# tree installs.
#
# This file must be in valid Makefile syntax.
#
# There are additional things you can put into /etc/make.conf.
# You have to find those in the Makefiles and documentation of
# the source tree.
#
# Note, that you should not set MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX or MAKEOBJDIR
# from make.conf (or as command line variables to make).
# Both variables are environment variables for make and must be used as:
#
# env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/big/directory make
#
#
# The CPUTYPE variable controls which processor should be targeted for
# generated code.  This controls processor-specific optimizations in
# certain code (currently only OpenSSL) as well as modifying the value
# of CFLAGS to contain the appropriate optimization directive to gcc.
# The automatic setting of CFLAGS may be overridden using the
# NO_CPU_CFLAGS variable below.
# Currently the following CPU types are recognized:
#   Intel x86 architecture:

# not guaranteed to.  Using csh is absurd.  The default is to use sh.
