>Description:
The comment in GENERIC talks about numbers for pseudo devices,
but there are no numbers in the pseudo devices section.
# Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocate.
device random # Entropy device
device loop # Network loopback
device ether # Ethernet support
device sl # Kernel SLIP
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Correct the comment to better explain how pseudo devices should be listed
in the kernel configuration. Perhaps a header would help, aka:
# Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocate.
#device #type #amount
device random # Entropy device
