-Add device @var{driver}. Depending on the device type,
-@var{option} (with default or given @var{value}) may be useful.
-To get a help on possible @var{driver}s, @var{option}s or @var{value}s, use
-@code{-device ?},
-@code{-device @var{driver},?} or
-@code{-device @var{driver},@var{option}=?}. 
+Add device @var{driver}.  @var{prop}=@var{value} sets driver
+properties.  Valid properties depend on the driver.  To get help on
+possible drivers and properties, use @code{-device ?} and
+@code{-device @var{driver},?}.
