Author: danfe (ports committer) Date: Sun Oct 11 10:40:11 2020 New Revision: 366626 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/366626 Log: The nextboot(8) manual page currently says that the loader(8) would delete the /boot/nextboot.conf file or its contents which is 1) not the most user- friendly way of working with custom configurations, and 2) simply not true for both Forth and Lua implementations: they would not delete it, but just change the setting to "NO", that is, disable it. While at it, add one missing serial (Oxford) comma and fix some bogus line wraps along the way.
