>Description:

	The '-h' option cannot toggle the kernel from a serial console
	if the kernel was built with COMCONSOLE

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try using the boot '-h' option to toggle to the keyboard from
	the serial console when booting a kernel compiled with
	COMCONSOLE and observe that it has no effect.

>Fix:
	
Something like the following wording seems more appropriate:

=== cd /usr/src/sbin/reboot/
=== /usr/bin/cvs diff -c boot_i386.8
