Description Tom Judge 2009-11-12 00:20:01 UTC 
There is no reference to /etc/rc.conf.d in rc.conf(5).

The patch adds info about that dir.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
Comment 1 Tom Judge 2009-11-12 00:28:03 UTC 
Here is a better more accurate patch.
Comment 2 Jason 2009-12-22 03:12:59 UTC 
Although it is not mentioned in the rc.conf man page, it is mentioned in
the rc.subr manpage.

I believe this should be appropriate enough, but that is for the
freebsd-doc team to take up.
