+None of these messages should be encountered under normal circumstances. It
+should be noted that the list below is not complete.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent 
+.It dpt0: readcfg failed - see dpt(4)
+.br
+The EATA configuration data did not appear upon request. This may be caused
+by older firmware. Generally the solution is to power-cycle the affected
+machine.

+.Sh AUTHOR
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by 
+.An Andy Doran Aq ad%netbsd.org@localhost , 
+based upon the 
+.Nm uha
+and
+.Nm bha
+drivers, which are the work of others.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm dpt
+driver first appeared in
+.Nx 1.4.2 .
+.Sh BUGS
+This manpage is inadaquate.
+.Pp
+EATA adapters other than listed may function correctly with the
+.Nm 
+driver, however a definitive list is not avaiable.
+.Pp
+Older firmware may prove problematic. It is recommended that the latest
+available firmware be used. Contact DPT for a firmware update.
+.Pp
+Older boards that do not suppport scatter-gather I/O or DMA are not supported.
+.Pp
+An ISA front-end is needed.
+.Pp
+ECC formatted disk and arrays (i.e. with a sector size of 528 bytes) do not
+work correctly with the PM2041 and certian firmware revisions of the PM3334.
