Hi,

I've recenly installed OpenBSD 3.7 on my Zaurus C3000. While perusing the afterboot manpage to figure out how to configure my system, I noticed that the manpage indicated that the /etc/rc.conf.local file was referred to before the manpage stated that the user had to create this file.

So this patch adds a small paragraph instructing the user to create this file immediately after the root password and system date are set. I think this makes the page read better and avoids the user referring to this file before it is created.
