.Sh BUGS
|
|
This manual page was created from the list at the top of the
|
|
.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
|
|
shell script. That script's comments may be incorrect, and
|
|
this manual page must be kept in sync with them, so it may be
|
|
even more incorrect. At the very least, the ordering of device
|
|
names in that file seems almost random.
