            Bug ID: 260088
           Summary: boot(8) FILES section missing many files in
                    13.0R/14-CURRENT and SEE ALSO pages
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: editor@callfortesting.org

the FILES section of boot(8) currently reads:

FILES
     /boot.config  parameters for the boot blocks (optional)
     /boot/boot1   first stage bootstrap file
     /boot/boot2   second stage bootstrap file
     /boot/loader  third stage bootstrap
     /boot/kernel/kernel
                   default kernel
     /boot/kernel.old/kernel
                   typical non-default kernel (optional)

This may represent the bare minimum files but equally-brief descriptions of all
of the files /boot

Some are covered in SEE ALSO but many are left undocumented:

uefi(8)

FILES
     UEFI bootstrap
     /boot/loader.efi
                   Final stage bootstrap
     /boot/kernel/kernel
                   default kernel
     /boot/kernel.old/kernel
                   typical non-default kernel (optional)

zfsboot(8)

FILES
     /boot/zfsboot  boot code binary
     /boot.config   parameters for the boot block (optional)
     /boot/config   alternative parameters for the boot block (optional)

gptzfsboot(8)

FILES
     /boot/gptzfsboot  boot code binary
     /boot.config      parameters for the boot block (optional)
     /boot/config      alternative parameters for the boot block (optional)

Also, perhaps device.hints(5) should be mentioned in boot(8) SEE ALSO as it
explains /boot/device.hints
