[Bug 292300] 15.0 Chapter 15.2.3. Stage Three: A not precise choice of words

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292300

--- Comment #2 from Vladlen Popolitov <vladlen@FreeBSD.org> ---
While reviewing this section, I also noticed a related terminology issue.

The text uses the term “qualified name” to refer to a file path (for example
`/boot/GENERIC/kernel`). In the FreeBSD Handbook, the usual terminology for
this is *full path* or *absolute path*. The term *qualified name* is normally
used in other contexts (for example, fully qualified domain names).

In this chapter the word “qualified” is used four times with the meaning of
“full path”. These appear to be the only occurrences in the Handbook where the
term is used this way. In other places it appears only as part of the term
*fully qualified domain name* (FQDN).

To avoid confusion and keep the terminology consistent with the rest of the
Handbook, it would probably be better to replace these occurrences with *full
path* (or rephrase the sentences accordingly).
