Hey, Warner. I know this is an MFC, but could the message be updated
with a pointer on _how_ to do that upgrade? I always find myself
re-learning the process as FreeBSD has evolved, and a current man
pointer would always help.
We have a man page for this already, but it's not very good. I'd hoped
to do something with release notes for this release. I was racing the
freeze deadline with the actual change and was going to chase it with
the new / improved docs.
Thanks. Improved docs and release notes definitely help. Just thinking
beyond 13.4. If people hit this message pointing them to, "(see
loader.8)" (or somesuch) would help those find the right answer quickly.
