Patch for boot(8) man page

The man page for `boot` states:

     ?       Give a short listing of the files in the root directory of the
             default boot device, as a hint about available boot files.  (A=
 ?
             may also be specified as the last segment of a path, in which
             case the listing will be of the relevant subdirectory.)

It should be modified to:

     ?       Give a short listing of the files in the root directory of the
             default boot device, as a hint about available boot files.  (A=
 ?
             may also be specified as the first segment of a path, in which
             case the listing will be of the relevant subdirectory.)

i.e., the `last segment` should be changed to `first segment`
