System: NetBSD 6.1_STABLE (N40L) #0: Thu Apr 24 14:25:15 PDT 2014
root%control.clock.org@localhost:/var/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/N40L
Architecture: amd64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
Several key manual pages describing various aspects of
booting an amd64 system are missing from /usr/share/man/man8/amd64
but they appear in the i386 equivalent. Those that are
appropriate to both ports should be cross-linked.
>How-To-Repeat:
Login to NetBSD/amd64 system.
% man boot
notice references to boot_console(8).
% man boot_console
man: no entry for boot_console in the manual.
go looking, and find /usr/share/man/man8/i386/boot_console.8
>Fix:
Determine which of the man pages in /usr/share/man/man8/i386
also apply to amd64, and change the appropriate Makefile
to see that they are linked in there.
