>Description:
The cd(4) manual refers to "target" in the synopsis, without giving a
clue as to what that is or how the target number should be chosen.
It's probably common knowledge to SCSI experts, but I've been using it
occasionally for a long time and didn't know the term. Some will
eventually figure it out by reading the "LUN-based" section or a certain
part of the scsi(4) manual, but it shouldn't be that hard.

>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
================
>Fix:
Add a new second paragraph to the "Description":
The "target" string is followed by the device's standard SCSI device
ID number. The "unit" string is followed by the logical unit number
of one of the SCSI device's sub-devices (if any) or zero.
