Does that resolve > your worries? If you write a detailed description of devfs please add it to devfs(5) and just replace the existing manpage of MAKEDEV with something like: The MAKEDEV script was deprecated by devfs(5) and geom(4) and removed from FreeBSD after GEOM became mandatory. Please see the devfs(5), devfs(8), geom(4) and mount_devfs(8) manpages for more details. This should be enough IMHO to point the reader to the right place. - Giorgos PS: I really think that devfs(5) doesn't belong to section 5, since it's not the description of a "file format", but this is a very different topic.
