>Description:
The flaw in the MAKEDEV.8 (i386) man page says the wd# disk names still
exist.. while they have been completely changed to ad#.

The patch below resolves the issue by changing the wd# into ad# and the
patch also provide's a note to pre FreeBSD 4.3 Users that ad# needs to
be changed to wd#.
