>Description:

The boot(8) manpage's "Bugs" section has this note:

    "Some features are not yet documented."

(This PR should stay open until that statement has been removed.  A
manpage either deserves an open PR for needed improvement or it should
go without saying (in the manpage) that the manpage (esp. one like
"boot") is incomplete.  An exception is made for obsolete features,
which probably should have their existence noted (at least).)

================
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
================
>Fix:

Document the features or remove the note.

I recommend removing the note by patching this:
