 New block and character device
 drivers may be loaded into the system with
 .Nm .
-The major problem with loading
-a device driver is that the driver's
-device nodes must exist for the
-devices to be accessed.  They are usually
-created by using
-.Xr MAKEDEV 8
-or
-.Xr mknod 8
-(if the device is not supported by the
-.Xr MAKEDEV 8
-script) or, by writing a
-shell script to run
-.Xr kldload 8
-which should run the appropriate program to create the devices when the
-driver has been successfully loaded.
