+The shell script

+.Nm MAKEDEV
+takes any number of device names as arguments, where the names are
+the common abbreviation for the device.
+There are three special device names,
+.Ar all ,
+.Ar std
+and
+.Ar local .
+If
+given,
+.Ar all
+creates device files for all devices on the mvme88k.
+If units are expected for a device,
+.Nm MAKEDEV
+will supply the standard numbers.
+The
+.Ar std
+argument creates only the standard devices for the mvme88k.
+Finally
+.Ar local
+is for devices specific to the local site, and executes the shell file
+.Pa MAKEDEV.local .
+.Pp
+The mvme88k supports the following devices.
+Where a device name is followed by a hash sign ("#"), the hash sign
+must be replaced by a unit number.
