I have sent some feedback by email to the submitter, suggesting to 
update his system to latest RELENG_6.

Hello,

  please try to update your system to the lates RELENG_6, since it
  seems like lagg(4) man page was merged back to RELENG_6 a bit later
  than the driver itself.

  Let us know if that helped.

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.

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.

	It seems the 6.3-RELEASE will be released before the 7.0-RELEASE so 
it's not (or even more correctly - will not be) fine...
