Description k 2000-10-15 13:20:00 UTC 
	
	In the FAQ section 'For serious FreeBSD hackers only'
	question 'Making the most of a kernel panic' we currently
	ask for alphabetic-sorted output from nm(1).

	When trying to debug the panic it is alot easier to find 
	the instruction address if the output is numeric-sorted.

Fix: Tell the user to use 'nm -n /kernel.that....' instead.
