Yes it wasn't in FreeBSD since that time, but a driver for FreeBSD was.

I am worry about our customers that used to work with Cronyx/Tau as ct 
in FreeBSD,
so I try to keep changes for them as small as possible.
BTW majors file has entry about ct driver (major 99) for a long time.

If there is no man page for scsi ct why to use this name for Cronyx/Tau 
that is ct network interface?
If there's no manpage for scsi ct yet, I think it would not appear.
