root(3) says:
The exception is /boot, which provides executable code when read.
The kernel does an exec(2) of /boot when initializing
Shouldn't it say "The exception is /boot, which is a directory with contents compiled into the
kernel (see boot(8)). The kernel does an exec(2) of /boot/boot when initializing."? Or
am I confused?
THX,
Gorka

You are correct, rsc recently changed how booting works. I
just updated the man page. Thank you.
