>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-BETA-0316 i386
>Environment:
Both -Stable and -Current
>Description:
There is currently no mechanism that I can see for moving the
boot.help file into /. A system installed before boot.help was introduced
won't have a copy of the file in / at all even after a make world update.
Perhaps it would be better to install it as part of
/usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/Makefile, however there are other text
files installed as part of /usr/src/etc/Makefile's procedure, and placing
it here will allow users to compare the old with the new by hand during
their procedure to update the conf/text files.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Apply the following patch to /usr/src/etc/Makefile:
