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.
