Folks, now that 5.0-RELEASE is one year away, we have plenty of time to update manual pages in -CURRENT! There must be so many changes to be committed. One of these is the section 4. Because of the changes in the kernel configuration file and the introduction of /boot/device.hints, we need massive update there. All the lines describing lines in kernel configuration file must be changed from device foo0 at isa port xxx irq yyy... to device foo and its resource "hints" in /boot/device.hints must be described. In addition, a number of man 4 pages appear to be simply out of date, with respect to resource allocation and probe/attach behavior in the newbus framework. I made preliminary changes to some of the files in man4 and man4/man4.i386. But I am not quite sure if I have done it right, and there still are so many more files to be changed. - Files I have tried to update: In src/share/man/man4: adv.4, adw.4, aha.4, ahc.4, ata.4, atkbd.4, atkbdc.4, bt.4, cd.4, da.4, fdc.4, gusc.4, joy.4, lp.4, lpt.4, pass.4, pcm.4, pcvt.4, psm.4, rp.4, sa.4, sbc.4, si.4, sio.4, syscons.4, vga.4, vpo.4 In src/share/man/man4/man4.i386: aic.4, asc.4, cs.4, cx.4, cy.4, el.4, fe.4, ie.4, le.4, lnc.4, matcd.4, mcd.4, mse.4, pcf.4, scd.4, sr.4, wt.4 - Files I have NOT yet modified: In src/share/man/man4: an.4, awi.4, ef.4, ppc.4, scsi.4 In src/share/man/man4/man4.i386: ar.4, dgb.4, labpc.4, rdp.4, sb.4, wd.4, wl.4 There are possibly more files which need update :-( Please have a look at my preliminary patch at http://people.freebsd.org/~yokota/man4update.diff Spend a bit of time to blush up the page for the driver which you are familiar with, and commit it.
