>Description:
vnconfig(8) should mention kernel option to enable functionality
>How-To-Repeat:
read vnconfig(8) without a clue of what to do and come back none the wiser (difficult to repeat if you already know :-)
>Fix:
Add paragraph telling the user that the functionality offered by
vnconfig is only available if the kernel was generated with the
vn pseudo-device configured (maybe include an example config line
like "pseudo-device vn 4" and describe what the "4" means).
Actually, I think there should be a vn(4) man page and that
vnconfig(8) should reference it... The comment at the start of
/sys/dev/vn.c should serve as a starting point. Obviously there
should be a reference back to vnconfig(8).
