>Description:

The description of "autoboot_delay" variable in
/boot/defaults/loader.conf does not mention it's "NO" special
value.

A variable of the same name is described in loader(8), but it is by no
means obvious whether it's the same variable or just another set at the
loader prompt.

The variable is only the one in loader.conf that has more than a brief
comment, leading me to wonder if it shouldn't be described in
loader.conf(5) manpage instead, but the first paragraph of its
"Default Settings" section  makes me wonder.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

Decide whether full description belongs in loader(8), loader.conf(5),
or /boot/defaults/loader.conf.  I don't know about loader(8), but I'm
thinking a full description should be in loader.conf(5) and referenced
from comment in "/boot/defaults/loader.conf".

I'll write patch after change is agreed on.
