 Thank you very much! That must have been a big piece of work.
 
 Some minor comments:
 
 > 4. usr.sbin/fstyp - Filesystem type detection utility
 > Fstyp(8) is an utility to detect filesystem type of the given block device, and it was originally added to FreeBSD for autofs. It's been used by automountd(8) to detect filesystem type of block devices to auto mount when "-media" map is specified in auto_master(5). See auto_master(5) for details of "-media" map. Fstyp(8) supports filesystems such as UFS, ext2, ISO9660, FAT, NTFS. FreeBSD version also supports ZFS, and DragonFlyBSD version supports HAMMER, but these two are dropped in NetBSD. Note that auto mounting NFS doesn't require fstyp(8) or "-media" map.
 
 NetBSD supports ZFS, so recognizing that would be useful.
 
 > 4. "xxx first appeared in NetBSD <version>" in newly added man pages have "8.99.1" for <version> at the moment. There are several new man pages, such as autofs(5), auto_master(5), automount(8), automountd(8), autounmountd(8), fstyp(8). These man pages are all from FreeBSD as well.
 
 We usually do not mention -current release numbers in man pages this
 way, so this should be "9.0" instead of "8.99.1".
