>Description:
Manpage diskless (8) has a see-also for bootparams (5) which doesn't
exist, and correctly references rpc.bootparamd (8), while
man -k claims the bootparamd page is bootparamd (8). (It isn't.)
>How-To-Repeat:
try:
man -k boot
and check for existence of bootparams, and rpc.bootparamd.
also make sure bootparamd (with no rpc.) doesn't exist.
