(This PR should stay open until that statement has been removed. A manpage either deserves an open PR for needed improvement or it should go without saying (in the manpage) that the manpage (esp. one like "boot") is incomplete. An exception is made for obsolete features, which probably should have their existence noted (at least).) ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: Document the features or remove the note. I recommend removing the note by patching this: .\" $FreeBSD: src/sbin/reboot/boot_i386.8,v 1.23.2.11 2002/04/24 17:47:58 rnordier Exp $ with this: --- /pr/work/boot..orig.8 Tue Jan 14 12:21:12 2003 +++ /pr/work/boot.8 Tue Jan 14 12:21:47 2003 @@ -334,5 +334,3 @@ .Dq XT/AT keyboard (with no F11 and F12 keys, etc.) is attached, the probe will fail. -.Pp -Some features are not yet documented. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
