It is also available into 'man bootparam'. But information from it
slightly outdated.

Hmm, must be the new definition of 'active' for Linux documentation :)

It is often a problem for me to find where a given
parameter is set. I was hoping these man pages would
help, but no. For example I tried:
man acpi
man ACPI
and got no man page response.

If I want to enable a given parameter, what is the
best way to step through
man menuconfig?
