+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "rlc0 at uba? csr 0177440"
+.Cd "rl0 at rlc0 drive 0"
+.Cd "rl* at rlc? drive ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm rl
+driver
+is a typical block-device disk driver; block device
+.Tn I/O
+is
+described in
+.Xr physio 4 .
+.Pp
+The script
+.Xr MAKEDEV 8
+should be used to create the special files; if a special file
+needs to be created by hand consult
+.Xr mknod 8 .

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "rl%d: operation incomplete"
+The current command to the disk did not complete within the timeout period.
+This may be due to hardware failure or a heavily loaded UNIBUS.
+.It "rl%d: read data CRC"
+The controller detected a CRC error on data read from the disk.
+Probably a bad disk pack.
+.It "rl%d: header CRC"
+The controller detected a CRC error on header data read from the disk.
+Probably a bad disk pack.
+.It "rl%d: data late"
+The controller was not able to transfer data over the bus fast enough to
+not overflow/underflow the internal FIFO, probably because a heavily
+loaded UNIBUS or mis-ordered UNIBUS devices.
+.It "rl%d: header not found"
+The requested sector was not found before the timer expired.
+If this error is the only error then it may indicate a software bug.
+.It "rl%d: non-existent memory"
+The controller tried to do DMA to/from a non-mapped address.
+This is a software bug.
+.It "rl%d: memory parity error"
+The host memory data sent had a parity error.
+This is a hardware failure.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver has been around nearly forever.
+.Pp
+A complete new
+.Nm
+driver showed up in
+.Nx 1.5 .
+.Sh BUGS
+Error handling is less than optimal.
+.Pp
+Seeks should be interleaved between multiple disks.
