New Revision: 325441
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/325441

Log:
  Extend the synopsis section of md(4) to look more like other manpages
  of this kind.  Describe how to compile the driver into the kernel
  and how to load it as a module.
  This is useful for people using the MINIMAL kernel configuration file.
