In 9front its all one kernel with different code paths depending on $service.
From my understanding of the code this is mostly to set resource defaults,
and different init scripts (/bin/termrc vs /bin/cpurc).
If my history serves me correct they did used to actually be different
builds. The wording here does give away how old this "bug" is. In any
case, this section of the man page only serves to further confuse things.
I've committed the change.
Thanks,
