1#
2# MINIMAL -- Mostly Minimal kernel configuration file for FreeBSD/i386
3#
4# Many definitions of minimal are possible. The one this file follows is
5# GENERIC, minus all functionality that can be replaced by loading kernel
6# modules.
7#
8# Exceptions:
9# o While UFS is buildable as a module, the current module lacks
10#   some features (ACL, GJOURNAL) that GENERIC includes.
11# o acpi as a module has been reported flakey and not well tested, so
12#   is included in the kernel.
13# o (non-loaded) random is included due to uncertainty...
14# o Many networking things are included
15#
16# For now, please run changes to these list past imp@freebsd.org
17#
18# For more information on this file, please read the config(5) manual page,
19# and/or the handbook section on Kernel Configuration Files:
20#
21#    https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/#kernelconfig-config
22#
23# The handbook is also available locally in /usr/share/doc/handbook
24# if you've installed the doc distribution, otherwise always see the
25# FreeBSD World Wide Web server (https://www.FreeBSD.org/) for the
26# latest information.
27#
28# An exhaustive list of options and more detailed explanations of the
29# device lines is also present in the ../../conf/NOTES and NOTES files.
30# If you are in doubt as to the purpose or necessity of a line, check first
31# in NOTES.
