	Could anyone help me explaing some parts of my kernel config file?

options 	HAVECACHE		# Sun3/260 VAC

	Do I need this one with my 3/50?

# XXX - Work-around for root on slow SunOS/Sun3 servers (sigh...)
options 	NFS_BOOT_RWSIZE=1024

	What exactly is this supposed to do?

# Sun3-specific debugging options
#options 	CONTEXT_DEBUG
#options 	PMAP_DEBUG
#options 	VMFAULT_TRACE
#options 	SYSCALL_DEBUG
#options 	EXEC_DEBUG
options 	DIAGNOSTIC
options 	SCSIDEBUG

config		netbsd swap generic

	What are they supposed to do, especially the commented out ones?

# Intel Ethernet (onboard, or VME)
ie0 at obio0 addr ? level ?
ie1 at vmes0 addr 0xffe88000 level 3 vect 0x75

	Do I need this one?  As far as I know I do not have ie... do I?

# Lance Ethernet (only onboard)
le0 at obio0 addr ? level ?

	What is the "?" supposed to do?

# The default cgfour address depends on the machine:
# 3/60: obio 0xFF200000 .. 0xFF9fffff
# 3/110: different? (not tested)
cgfour0 at obmem0 addr ?

	I do not have cgfour, do I?

# The default bwtwo address depends on the machine:
# 3/50: obio   0x100000
# else: obio 0xff000000
bwtwo0 at obmem0 addr ?

	How should I set this chap up for my 3/50?
