>Description:

The scsi(8) manpage fails to mention that arguments to
-c commands are specified in hexadecimal.  The "examples"
section in that manpage also seems to use decimal values,
which is wrong.

>How-To-Repeat:

Enter "man 8 scsi" on FreeBSD 2.1.7 or 2.2.1.

>Fix:
	
In the section of the manpage explaining the -c option,
add a remark that arguments are specified in hexadecimal.
