I think what is dangerous is the suggestion to the user that they remove
all devices which they don't have. I think it should be reworded to say
"know you don't have", to prevent removal of something important ("syscons
video driver? What's that? I have a DayTek moniter, not a Syscons."
(Incidentally, removing the syscons driver causes a sig12, page fault
while in kernel mode when one continues booting)).
