>Description:

The mknod(8) man page refers to the non-existent file
"/usr/src/sys/conf/device.<architecture>".  (Yes, I have
the source cvsup'd. :-)

It also has a couple of English problems; see below:

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

Determine which file documents major/minor device numbers, if any,
and either replace the filename or remove the stuff following the
/dev/MAKEDEV reference.

In the "Compatibility" section, change "wound" to "would" and
change "chown(8) like functionality" to "chown(8)-like functionality"
(or reword it).

 It's sys/conf/majors.  I fixed this in -current about four months ago,
 but somehow forgot to MFC it.

 Fixed.  I'll MFC the above change when I do this one.

 Please re-open this PR to have the main problem fixed in 4.x.
 (It's not currently a problem in "5.x".)
 
 The English has already been corrected. This should fix the problem
 with the non-existent file.
