    3 Hopefully, this list will one day be obsoleted by DEVFS, but for now
    4 this is the current allocation of device major numbers.
    5 
    6 For local use, you are encouraged to use the reserved numbers.
    7 
    8 If you intend the driver to be available, send email to the
    9 hackers@freebsd.org mailing list to see about having a number
   10 reserved for you.
   11 
   12 The most "complete" version of this will be the one in FreeBSD-current.
   13 (see http://www.freebsd.org/)
   14 
   15 NOTICE: FreeBSD does not use block major numbers anymore, you neither
   16 need to assign nor use a block major number for any device driver any
   17 more.
