Teach a man to fish ...

When documentation says something like that (enable the HOTPLUG
option), that refers to the actual name of the option.  Some of the
kernel configuration UIs give a longer descriptive text rather than
the proper name.  With the 2.6 kernels, the config tool's
configuration has moved to arch/i386/Kconfig.  Search that file for
the name of the parameter and you will also see what menu it is in,
the descriptive phrase the config tool displays, the default setting
and the "help" text explaining the option.  Some of the configuration
tools (I think at least the text and the qt ones) show the proper
name.

You can also manually edit the '.config' file in the source tree to
set the option.
