>Description:
	The man page for the lpt driver doesn't document all of the
	supported bits in the minor number.
	It's also probably in the wrong section (man4.i386) since the
	driver is now in /sys/dev/isa instead of /sys/arch/i386/isa.

>How-To-Repeat:
	"man lpt" and try to find out what bit 5 of the minor number
	does...

>Fix:
	apply this patch.

  .Cd "lpt1 at isa? port" \&"IO_LPT2\&"
  .Sh DESCRIPTION
  This driver provides access to parallel ports.  The highest bit in the minor
! number selects whether to do polling or wait for interrupts.  Setting
! the second highest bit disables priming of the printer when the device
! is opened.  Setting the third highest bit enables automatic generation
! of linefeeds on receipt of a carriage return.  If no IRQ is specified
! in the kernel configuration, only the polling device may be used.
