I am not sure about this, but I think it is not possible to change the '??' to something like 'Windows XP', because of the restrictions of the boot sector, although I am not entirely sure. And I dont think there is a need for a manual page for BootMgr as there are no out-of-the-box features to tag operating systems like that. You could try and use some other boot manager like Grub or others provided on the FreeBSD Release CD-ROM. If this is right, I would be very greatful is the PR can be closed. Thanks.
