Then as root, use the vnconfig to make your man page available as a device: vnconfig vn0c /usr/share/man/man8/dontdothisyouidiot.8.gz If your manpage is not formatted correctly, you'll need to newfs it before using it: newfs /dev/vn0c Finally, mount it as normal: mount /dev/vn0c /mnt Note that this may be a bad idea.
