it's the responsibility of the port-master to do a lot of things, some
of which are more important than writing an md boot(8) man-page, and
apparently we're having hard time with that too.
the spam you added to the pr database does not help, and is ignored.
I have added a more-or-less mi version of boot(8), and later on we will
think how to strengthen the connection between the port-master and the
port.
