 Ok, seems like you will have the lagg.4 man page available after you
 will build and install your new RELNEG_6 system.

 That's interesting, since the man page was merged back to RELENG_6 by
 this commit:
 Thu May 17 01:45:14 2007 UTC (4 weeks, 6 days ago) by thompsa
 
 you can check yourself the history of this man page at:
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/man/man4/lagg.4
 
 Maybe you have been updating your src tree from some mirror, which was
 out of sync by that time. Important thing is, that you have the man
 page now in the source tree, so if you do not have NO_MAN in your
 make.conf, it should be installed this time properly.

 Ok, this is pretty common problem of the man.cgi, since the manual
 pages that are on-line are not synchronized with the current states of
 the branches all the time.

 This is correct.

 This is fine, since the lagg(4) driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.0
 (or even more correctly, it _will_ first appear in the FreeBSD 7.0, as
 the FreeBSD 6.3 will be released after 7.0-RELEASE.

 > And why FreeBSD 4.11 when I ask 7.0?
 
 This line is correct as well, because the cgi script is running on
 FreeBSD 4.11 system.

 I hope that my answers helped to you. Please let me know if the man
 page installed on your system successfuly.
