The first one is telling you to compile in the via ide chipset support.

The second messages I would just ignore. But thats mainly because I dont know what the heck its saying. I have them too but I dont really see any reason to worry about them.

How come to compile the via chipset?

I have no via chipset at all, amd I have the same message at boot.
I add hdparm in my /etc/rc.conf to force my pio4 when I start my system. But I still got those messages, and I would like to know how to fix tha.

I also have the devfs messages, but not sa much as you, I've got only 2 lines I think.
I have no clue what they mean, I would like to understand.
I don't know devfs, does anyone know what are those messages?

In the kernel you need to go to Filesystems and look toward the bottom of menuconfig for this:

Code:

[*]  /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*]   Automatically mount at boot
