Indeed. Right now, I know about:
* etc/etc.*/MAKEDEV (if the device needs a device node)
* share/man/man8/man8.*/MAKEDEV.8 (generated non-automatically via
script from etc/etc.*/MAKEDEV)
* htdocs/Hardware/*.html
* src/distrib/notes/*/hardware
* driver manpage
* bus/bridge manpage
How could we do this? Any takers?
