[Soekris] FreeBSD 7.0 dmesg things of interest

I installed a generic FreeBSD 7.0 on a CF card following the 
instructions at 
<http://typo.submonkey.net/articles/2006/04/13/installing-freebsd-on-usb-stick-episode-2>. 
I had to modify the instructions for what to put in /etc/fstab, but 
it now boots well.

dmesg -a gives a few messages I'm not completely comfortable with:

     root at logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
module_register: module g_label already exists!
Module g_label failed to register: 17

Are those last two important?

. . .
hptrr: HPT RocketRAID controller driver v1.1 (Feb 24 2008 19:59:27)
. . .
hptrr: no controller detected.
. . .

I assume the first is because the RAID controller was built into 
GENERIC, and the second is because the Soekris box doesn't have one. 
Correct?
