Two things you can do to improve the situation.

First, describe the appropriate settings and files on 
http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/

Then write some updates to the man page, or at least describe what is 
missing, and submit a PR.

This can be worthwhile doing just for yourself.  If a man page is 
missing something for me once, chances are I'll hit it again later. 
Helping others is a side benefit.
