Documentation for rndseed misplaced?



It appears that 'rndseed' is listed in the boot.cfg(5) man page along with other keyword=value pairs ('default=x', 'timeout=x', 'load=mod', 'clear', etc.)

But its usage seems to indicate that it belongs in boot(8), along with other commands ('boot <kernel> <flags>', 'load <module>', etc.). The prototype boot.cfg file installed from src/etc/etc.amd64/boot.cfg has

        menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot netbsd

So my question is, should rndseed be documented in boot(8)? And should it be removed from boot.cfg(5)?
