gmirror.8: Remove references rc.early
The manual page of gmirror describes how gmirror providers can be used
for kernel dumps. Unfortunately, the instruction references
/etc/rc.early, which is no longer a part of rc(8).
Remove references to rc.early and suggest creating an rc(8) service
script instead.
Future work: In the Problem Report on Bugzilla, Lawrence Chen suggested
adding example rc(8) scripts to the gmirror. However, those examples
need to be tested before they become official reference examples in the
base. Also, those scripts should probably land directly to /etc/rc.d,
/usr/share/examples/rc.d, or /usr/share/examples/gmirror instead of the
gmirror manual page.
