Description justin 2003-01-21 21:20:01 UTC 
acpiconf(8) manpage links in section 6.13.2 of the Handbook search 
for the existing command against 4.7-RELEASE.  This results in an error, 
as this exists in 5.0R and later.

Fix: 

If it's possible, pass in a search parameter on the overview page 
that will set the manpage search against a particular version - 5, 
in this case.
How-To-Repeat: 	Go to:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-overview.html	
	and click on any of the acpiconf(8) links.

It is in some way a "normal" issue, the default manpath points on
4.7-RELEASE manual pages.  We talked about this problem on -doc some
weeks ago.  We have 3 solutions:

- The default manual page path should point on 5.0-RELEASE one.
- We can provide a 4.X and a 5.X Handbook version.
- We can use "specific" manual page entities for the 5.X's manual pages.
