>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
