+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nvd
+.Nd NVM Express disk driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into your kernel,
+place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device nvme"
+.Cd "device nvd"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following lines in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+nvme_load="YES"
+nvd_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver exposes NVM Express (NVMe) namespaces as disks to the kernel disk
+storage API.
+It depends on the
+.Xr nvme 4
+driver for notification of existing NVMe namespaces and submission of NVM
+I/O commands.
+.Pp
+Device nodes from the
+.Nm
+driver will have the format /dev/nvdX and are
+.Xr GEOM 4
+disks which can be partitioned by
+.Xr geom 8 .
+Note that device nodes from the
+.Xr nvme 4
+driver are not
+.Xr GEOM 4
+disks and cannot be partitioned.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr GEOM 4 ,
+.Xr nvme 4 ,
+.Xr geom 8 ,
+.Xr nvmecontrol 8 ,
+.Xr disk 9
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 9.2 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
