Support for DOS-formatted ZIP disks is already within the generic kernels,
no need to recompile the kernel just for that.

You only need support for the ram disk if you want to use your new kernel to be
loaded from the NetBSD boot disk (TOS). You can remove the support with

#options MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS

If you don't want a ram disk for normal operation (after installation) you can
also remove:

#file-system    MFS             # Memory based filesystem

You also can safely remove

#file-system    FDESC           # /dev/fd

/dev/fd is there anyway, I think because of /proc (which should be included of
course).

You don't have, as far as I know every TT contains a 68882 fpu which is
downward compatible to the 68881. Just remove

#options        FPU_EMULATE     # Support for MC68881/MC68882 emulator
#options        FPSP            # 68040 Floatingpoint support

You may also remove 68040 support and any Falcon stuff (see comments in the
config file) for a TT-only kernel.
