Author: fernape (ports committer) Date: Mon Nov 23 18:57:58 2020 New Revision: 54707 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/54707 Log: handbook/boot: fix unload + load example The unload + load example in the 12.2.3 section doesn't seem to work. The original problem was reported in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D24960. Correct the example by using fully qualified paths since this is how it works now. Tested in 12.1, 12.2 and 13-current.
