1ab3783e1a mdoc: move CAVEATS, BUGS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections to the
bottom of the manpages and order them consistently.

GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.

b6f35cb162 Add new loader console type: "spinconsole". This console selects the
video console which doesn't take any input from keyboard and hides
all output replacing it with ``spinning'' character (useful for
embedded products and custom installations).

50222e8f1f Document that loader(8) stops reading `loader.conf' when it
encounters a syntax error, and add a tip about adding first
the `vital' options and then experimental ones.

11293f3595 Add a "comconsole_speed" loader variable that can be used to change
the serial console speed (i386 and amd64 only). If the previous
stage boot loader requested a serial console (RB_SERIAL or RB_MULTIPLE)
then the default speed is determined from the current serial port
speed. Otherwise it is set to 9600 or the value of BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
at compile time.

This makes it possible to set the serial port speed once in
/boot.config and the setting will propagate to boot2, loader and
the kernel serial console.

67995bef83 Fix hw.acpi.os_name by renaming it to hw.acpi.osname. The "_name" suffix
is reserved by the loader, and thus any tunable name with that suffix will
be silently discarded.

Document this in the header and man page so that other developers do not
develop so many bumps on the head after banging it against the wall.
