+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mlx
+.Nd Mylex DAC-family Parallel SCSI RAID driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device pci"
+.Cd "device mlx"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mlx_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for Mylex DAC-family PCI to SCSI RAID controllers,
+including versions relabeled by Digital/Compaq.

+.Pp
+Errors occurred preventing one or more system drives from being configured.
+.It mlx%d: new controller configuration found
+.Pp
+The controller has detected a configuration on disk which supersedes the
+configuration in its nonvolatile memory.
+It will reset and come up with the new configuration.
+.It mlx%d: FATAL MEMORY PARITY ERROR
+.Pp
+Firmware detected a fatal memory error; the driver will not attempt to
+attach to this controller.
+.It mlx%d: unknown firmware initialisation error %x:%x:%x
+.Pp
+An unknown error occurred during initialisation; it will be ignored.

+.Pp
+The current status of all system drives could not be fetched; attachment
+of system drives will be aborted.

+.Sh BUGS
+The DEC KZPSC has insufficient flash ROM to hold any reasonably recent firmware.
+This has caused problems for this driver.
+.Pp
+The driver does not yet support the version 6.x firmware as found in the
+AcceleRAID 352 and eXtremeRAID 2000 and 3000 products.
