>Description:
In the following paragraph of Handbook (section 19.4 RAID1 - Mirroring), boot.conf is used instead of boot.config. Commnads that follows use the correct boot.config.

    This file will “help” the system BIOS boot the correct drive:
    
    # echo "1:da(1,a)/boot/loader" > /boot.config
    # echo "1:da(1,a)/boot/loader" > /mnt/boot.config
>How-To-Repeat:
See section 19.4 RAID1 - Mirroring of the Handbook.
>Fix:
Change the sentence:

    Now create a boot.conf file on both the current and new root partitions.

to:

    Now create a boot.config file on both the current and new root partitions.
