            Bug ID: 289681
           Summary: device.hints(5) is poorly referenced
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rb@gid.co.uk
                CC: doc@FreeBSD.org

See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289092 for context.

With non-PNP ISA devices being deprecated this kind of thing will become more
common.

device.hints is read by the loader but there’s no mention of device hints in
loader(8) or loader.conf(5). At least a See Also is justified.

A See Also in boot(8) and boot.config(5) might not go amiss either.
