+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mdsetimage
+.Nd set kernel RAM disk image
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl svx
+.Op Fl b Ar bfdname
+.Op Fl I Ar image_symbol
+.Op Fl S Ar size_symbol
+.Op Fl T Ar address
+.Ar kernel
+.Ar image
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+command copies the disk image specified by
+.Ar image
+into the memory disk storage area in
+.Ar kernel .
+The file system present in
+.Ar image
+will typically be used by the kernel
+as the root file system.
+.Pp
+To recognize kernel executable format, the
+.Fl b
+flag specifies BFD name of kernel.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl I
+and
+.Fl S
+flags specify the symbol names of image and size of memory disk
+drivers respectively.
+.Pp
+For a.out kernels only, the
+.Fl T
+flag specifies the starting address of kernel text.
+This flag is ignored for other kernel executable formats.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl s
+flags is given,
+.Nm
+will write back the actual disk image size back into
+.Ar kernel .
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl v
+flag is given,
+.Nm
+will print out status information as
+it is copying the image.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Fl x
+flag is given,
+.Nm
+will extract the disk image from
+.Ar kernel
+into the file
+.Ar image .
+This is the opposite of the default behavior.
