- If you have a 486 or a 386 with a 387, you do not need kernel math
- emulation. You can configure this in the main Makefile.
-
- If you have SCSI, you can configure the kernel so it contains support
- *only* for the board(s) that you have and none of the others. This saves a
- few more bytes, and maintains a SCSI capability.
