    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.

Joe
