I was just a bit careless when reading the manpage, and expected the description to be near -t type instead of -f file: -f file Filename to use for the vnode type memory disk. Options -a and -t vnode are implied if not specified. We can probably reduce the command-length, but expand the description of the example. How about this change? %%% Index: mdconfig.8 =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sbin/mdconfig/mdconfig.8,v retrieving revision 1.38 diff -u -r1.38 mdconfig.8 --- mdconfig.8 9 Nov 2007 18:02:51 -0000 1.38 +++ mdconfig.8 9 Nov 2007 19:49:36 -0000 @@ -216,9 +216,15 @@ mount /dev/md0c /mnt .Ed .Pp -To mount an ISO 9660 CD image file: +To mount an ISO 9660 CD image file using the default +.Ar type +of +.Cm vnode , +for the memory disk and the first available +.Xr md 4 +device node: .Bd -literal -offset indent -mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -a -t vnode -f cdimage.iso` /mnt +mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -a -f cdimage.iso` /mnt .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr md 4 , %%%
