Remove all SCSI devices for an IDE system?!

The Handbook, section 8.4:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ 
kernelconfig-config.html

reads:

    "SCSI controllers. Comment out any you do not have in your
     system. If you have an IDE only system, you can remove these
     altogether."

and:

    "SCSI peripherals. Again, comment out any you do not have, or
     if you have only IDE hardware, you can remove them completely."

However, some IDE/SATA devices are interfaced through the SCSI  
subsystem, IIRC. This seems to be supported by what is written a few  
lines further down the text:

    # RAID controllers interfaced to the SCSI subsystem
    device          amr        # AMI MegaRAID
    device          arcmsr     # Areca SATA II RAID

Here a SATA2 RAID controller is listed as being linked to the SCSI  
subsystem.

My suggestion is to fix and/or clarify this text.

Cheers,

Ernst
