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.
