Well, COMPAT_43 one isn't even in GENERIC anymore, so I guess it is not that important anymore. > COMPAT_43TTY This is still in the GENERIC kernel. I'd keep it in initially. Then build a kernel without it. If that fails to start the system properly, you'll always have a good kernel to fall back on. Have a look at what is written under COMPATIBILITY OPTIONS in /sys/conf/NOTES. > COMPAT_FREEBSD[4-7] If you do not have binaries from ealier FreeBSD versions around, you can skip these.
