I checked in NOTES and it says nothing of this option, how and where did 
you get it, I thought /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES contained all valid 
options?

You might be able to remove those options, if I remember right it 
explains in the freebsd handbook why you don't (and do) need these options.

Arn't you dealing with a pci only board and chipset, why do you need isa 
support?

Also setting make options will make things leaner and meaner too. 
something like (this is just an example, don't build anything with this 
set of options and expect it to work):
CPUTYPE=i585/mmx
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
CFLAGS= -march=pentium-mmx -Os -pipe -s -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
COPTFLAGS= -march=pentium-mmx -Os -pipe -s -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math

read this paper for a starting point on this stuff:

Have fun with your new toy :-), I'd love to have one of these but can't 
justify the cost.
