System: NetBSD ficus 1.6M NetBSD 1.6M (FICUS) #0: Thu Jan 23 21:04:53 CET 2003 toto@ficus:/home/src/netbsd-obj-current/sys/arch/i386/compile/FICUS i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The boot man page doesn't mention that the path for /sbin/init is asked
for when booting with -a flag.
The patch below is for man8/man.i386/boot.8. I don't know if it aplies to
other architectures as well.
