What's wrong? How to clear these error codes?

Code: 
FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 #0: Thu Sep 17 20:45:19 UTC 2009                              
    root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC                 
[B]module_register: module re/miibus already exists!  [/B]                           
Module re/miibus failed to register: 17                                       
[B]module_register: module pci/re already exists! [/B]                               
Module pci/re failed to register: 17
 
It looks as though your system is trying to load re (and miibus, by extension) as modules when they are already compiled into your kernel. Annoying, but harmless.

Do you have
Code: 
re_load="YES"
in your /boot/loader.conf, by chance?

No. But I have
Code: 
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
in rc.conf.
 
The warning isn't something harmful, though I can see how it is annoying, so please post the entire contents of /etc/rc.conf & /boot/loader.conf.
