Re: [gentoo-dev] boot says I didn't compile DEVFS support

[Brian Jones]

Well, it's in yellow if you're reading it online.  I
printed it out all in b&w, so...

I see it now.  I don't think it needs any more detail
per se, but maybe you could describe it using words
specific to menuconfig - for example:

'In order for you to see some of the options you'll
need to compile into your kernel, the first thing
you'll need to do in menuconfig is go to the "code
level maturity" section and enable the option <exact
name of option here>'

Something like that should probably appear before you
even mention what they need to enable.

:)

Just a suggestion.  Bottom line is it was a dumb
mistake on my part, but I don't think I would've made
it if that was in there.  

PS - overall, the docs here are wonderful.
