New Revision: 208647
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/208647
Log:
Clarify devfs manpages slightly.
mount(8): add xref to devfs(5)
devfs(5): change example to something more likely to be useful (it is not
necessary to mount a devfs on /dev manually, but for chroots/jails it is
often needed), mention since when devfs is preferred to device nodes on ufs
