Hmm, that may be incorrect notation for the pages which are
architecture specific: the boot_*(8) manpages are in the architecture
specific sections. They can be seen on all platforms using the -S
option to man, ala:
man -S i386 boot_i386
man -S sparc boot_sparc
...etc
By default, man uses the architecture that you're running, so if
you're running on i386, you should be able to just say
man boot_i386
I'm not 100% sure if the cross-references in the SEE ALSO section
should be indicating that; I could have sworn that I saw syntax like
"whatever(8/i386)" elsewhere. Jason, Ingo, what the Right Thing here?

Hmm, you never actually came out and said it (no dmesg, ahem), but I'm
guessing that you're running on sparc64?
