>Description:

	Manual page for mount_null (mount_null.8) includes a reference to
	an obsolete filesystem lofs.  I think it has some value to note
	that the nullfs provides similar function to lofs, but the man
	page text explicitly state "see mount_lofs(8)," which is not
	available in the current version of FreeBSD.

>How-To-Repeat:

		man mount_null
	then
		man mount_lofs

>Fix:
	
	I suggest to remove the reference to mount_lofs(8), leaving the
	reference to loopback filesystem.  The following change is a
	_work_aroud_ to do so.
