Description Gary W. Swearingen 2001-08-07 18:30:01 UTC 
Handbook is missing some "Loader Built-In Commands" and descriptions in
the "boot" chapter, namely these: heap, bcachestat, show, unset, pnpscan
(and maybe one more - my note, taken during boot, was unclear).

An additional trival problem in the same (boot) chapter:

The phrase "comprises of" (in a list header) is poor English.
================

Fix: For the trivial problem only.

Change "comprises of" to "is" with this PR/patch. (A needlessly-
wordy alternative is "is comprised of".)

patch -d /*/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot < this-PR
How-To-Repeat: <code/input/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple lines)>

Well, this is my first attempt to follow-up someone else's PR: let's
see if I can successfully choke gnats.  :)

Might I suggest the following patch?  It addresses this in the
simplest possible manner.  I don't know if the Project wants to have
the Handbook include whole excerpts of man pages when a pointer will
probably suffice.

I've just committed something very similar to Michael's fix.  Thanks 
for the PR!  It may take up to 24 hours for this fix to make its way 
to the web site.
