Hi,
I hope I am doing this post in the right spot.
I tried to post it through send-pr but sendmail gets email rejected from freebsd.org MX, because my hostname has an invalid domain. (no real mailserver running here :( )
I have a suggestion for the FreeBSD Handbook, and particulary in the '23.4 Rebuilding“world”' section.
Description:
In FreeBSD Handbook, if someone follows 23.4.1 instructions, then in single user mode after 'make installkernel' and the first system reboot, no 'mergemaster -p' can be done without invocing the 'mount -u' command which is mentioned 4 sub-sections bellow. (section 23.4.5)
Fix:
Either an href anchor or just a remind of the 'Drop to single User Mode' section should be put after the text 'boot in single user mode' in 23.4.1 section This way, a lot of confusion can be avoided for users not aware of the 'mount -u' command in single user mode.
