OK, I now understand how to do it. I am not against creating man4.pc98 and I am preparing for it. However, I prefer the name `ctau.4' since we are using the name in, - sys/dev/`ctau' - sys/dev/`ctau'.c - device line in sys/i386/conf/NOTES and so on. People who don't know about ctau will want to see ctau.4 not ct.4. People who do know adding the `device ctau' line in the conf file don't need the manual page or want to see ctau.4. People who know `ct' in Linux can easily search NOTES or do `man -k' by `ct' or the name of the hardware. I also think we should change the name in sys/conf/majors too. Second reason is that we should not use the same name for the different drivers in FreeBSD. It is confusing and may cause confliction as nyan-san suggests. Although, Warner-san wrote both are `nitch' device, the SCSI cards which ct driver supoort are not `nitch' device. They are major devices for pc98. Since first one (original one from NEC) was introduced in the early days of PC-9801 series and they are used as the only SCSI supporting host adapters for years. // Noriaki Mitsunaga //
