>Description:

  quoting init(8) man page :
    If it is desired to run the system in level 0 mode while multiuser, the
    administrator must build a kernel with the variable securelevel defined
    in the file /sys/arch/compile/MACHINE/param.c and initialize it to -1.

  this is definitively wrong. There is no 'securelevel' variable defined in
  param.c, and the rigth way to do this is to use 'options INSECURE' in the
  kernel config file.  

>How-To-Repeat:
	
       man 8 init

>Fix:
       replace the quoted part by a description of 'options INSECURE' in
       src/sbin/init/init.8
