Could it be that you have updated this machine from RELENG_4?  The fact
that the file you're referring to has no .gz extention show that it's
stale, manpages have been compressed for some time now.

Also, I was the one who removed the original MAKEDEV.8 manpage, so I
know ;-)  After the removal, a small new one was added to refer people
to devfs-related material.
