Yes, I meant to ask about that...

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
system first appeared in its current form
.Po
with scripts run at both boot time and shutdown time
.Pc
in
.Fx 5.0 ,
though it has existed in a more basic form since
.Fx 2.2 .

This is what I got from the RCS logs of src/etc/rc, but if anyone knows
better...

Also, the .Nd line was shamelessly stolen from rc(8), which should
probably be fixed.  I don't really like the SYNOPSIS either, but rc(8)
does the same sort of thing.
