            Bug ID: 291958
           Summary: loader.conf(5) links to wrong man page loader.efi(8)
                    for list of boot_* variables
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages

I tried to find the list of all boot_* variables. Loader.conf(5) states:

“See list in loader.efi(8) since those flags apply to all boot loaders.”

But loader.efi(8) does not contain any description of the boot_* variables. I
searched the man pages and found a list of boot_* variables in loader_simp(8).
This may be the list that should be referenced.
