>Description:
The following is patch fixes the documentation for boot.config(5) as the indexes are incorrect per boot(8):
bios_drive:interface(unit,[slice,]part)filename [-aCcDdghmnPprsv]
[-Sspeed]
Specify boot file and flags.
bios_drive
The drive number as recognized by the BIOS. 0 for the
first drive, 1 for the second drive, etc.
I submitted it directly to danger@, but he suggested I create a PR for it.
