 .Nd device file system
 .Sh SYNOPSIS
-devfs	/devs	devfs rw 0 0
+devfs	/dev	devfs rw 0 0

 The filesystem includes several directories, links, symbolic links
 and devices, some of which can also be written.  In a chroot'ed
 environment,

+.Pa /dev
 mount point.
 .Sh FILES

 1.  The example fstab entry in the SYNOPSIS for the man page will mount
     the new filesystem on /devs, not /dev.
 
 2.  It's my understanding that this is deliberate, while devfs is in the
     final shakedown phase.  As and when devfs is deemed ready for
     production use, the default should become /dev.
 
 Poul?

 The manpage is somewhat out of sync, I'll update it.

 > [ devfs(5) refers to /devs when it should refer to /dev ]
 
 I've fixed this in -current; you asked Nik to fix it in PR 25252, but
 he forgot, so I did it for him.  In this PR you refer to the devfs(5)
 man page as being out of sync; it's not really out of sync, but it is
 sorely lacking.  If you want to tell me what you think should be there
 I'll gladly write something up based on what I can find in the code.
 
 Thanks
