This is a problem in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
# If a SCSI tape has been detected, load the st module unconditionally
# since many SCSI tapes don't deal well with st being loaded and unloaded
if cat /proc/scsi/scsi | grep -q 'Type: Sequential-Access' 2>/dev/null ; then
if cat /proc/devices | grep -qv ' 9 st' ; then
insmod st
fi
fi
It presumes that you have SCSI enabled. It should do something like
this:
# If a SCSI tape has been detected, load the st module unconditionally
# since many SCSI tapes don't deal well with st being loaded and
# unloaded. But first, check to see if we have SCSI enabled:
if [ -d /proc/scsi ]; then
if cat /proc/scsi/scsi | grep -q 'Type: Sequential-Access' 2>/dev/null ; then
if cat /proc/devices | grep -qv ' 9 st' ; then
insmod st
fi
fi
fi
Though I haven't tested this. It should work. It's also possible that
the added 2>/dev/null is all you need.

Add the following to /etc/conf.modules:
# IPX
alias net-pf-4 off
# Appletalk
alias net-pf-5 off
This will make those messages go away.
