The Handbook X11 Configuration chapter has a couple of entries where 
hal .fdi files are added or changed, then:

"You will have to reboot your machine to force hald to read this file."

Is there a reason that merely restarting hald won't work?  Rebooting is 
a crude and drastic step unless it's necessary.

Suggested wording:

     After making these changes, restart hald:

     /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart
