Hi,

In the kernel config file there is a line

options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in
/dev

I do have this line in my kernel config, but no
such thing as 'CDEV' in the /dev directory.

There is /dev/devctl and /dev/devstat, but I don't
think that is related, or is it?

Can I remove KBD_INSTALL_CDEV from the config file?
And what is it good for?

I'm running 5-STABLE with i386/I686_CPU.

Thanks,
Rob.
