Description Till Toenges 2005-08-29 02:50:12 UTC 
The watchdog device is named /dev/fido. Unlike almost everything else in
FreeBSD, it has no corresponding man page. There is a man page (several,
actually) for watchdog, but you don't know what this fido device is, unless
you grep the full source.

Fix: 

create the appropriate man page.
How-To-Repeat: man fido
