This manpage is also exists as src/sbin/i386/cxconfig/cxconfig.8. The reason
why you don't have it installed is that sbin/i386/cxconfig is not connected
to build.

[CCed to Garrett since he imported cx and cxconfig]

   What's up with the sbin/i386 directory that appears to have been
disconnected from the build for many years.  Is there any reason why
this directory is disconnected?  If the programs don't build, can they
just be nuked?  The man page for the ancient cx(4) driver refers to
the ancient cxconfig(8) program which is disconnected.

   What should be done about this?

What's up with the disconnected programs in sbin/i386, in particular 
cxconfig?  If these programs don't work then we should remove them 
from the tree and remove the driver as well.

It was an idea that I had which later turned out to be a bad one.

  So where should we go from here?  Should these programs just be
removed?  It looks like there are two separate mechanisms in
src/sbin/Makefile for conditionally including subdirectories.  

  I think we should move kget and mount_nwfs into the i386 directory
(repo-copy) and I'm not sure what to do about cxconfig.  Does this
device still work with FreeBSD?  Do we just leave it as is?

.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == i386
SUBDIR+=        kget mount_nwfs
.endif

.if exists(${.CURDIR}/${MACHINE})
SUBDIR+= ${MACHINE}
.endif

I haven't a clue.

cxconfig(8) has been connected to build.
