I have copied a lot of the text from README.altboot, and the layout from
other boot(8) manual pages, and have come up with:

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jdc/man8.sandpoint/Makefile
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jdc/man8.sandpoint/boot.8

I did leave out the supported models list - I think that the list is better
on the web pages, rather then the manual page, but I'm not 100% sure, as we
do sometimes put supported hardware lists in manual pages.

Thanks,

J
