Dear colleagues,

marck at whale:/FreeBSD/src.current> cvs -R stat share/man/man9/make_dev.9

File: make_dev.9        Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.15    Mon Nov 10 10:22:33 2003
   Repository revision: 1.15    /home/ncvs/src/share/man/man9/make_dev.9,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)

This man page refers to old dev_t machanism instead of struct cdev *. The same 
inconsistency applies to RELENG_5.

Unfortunately, I can't provide useful diff myself (not deep enough kernel 
structures understanding), but I suppose it should be fixed before 5.4-R.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                     [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
