On sparc64, installboot does not deal with any file system; its -p is a NOOP and the old sys/arch/sparc64/installboot/ never prepared a file system, either, according to CVS history.
Remove this single misleading mention alltogether and rely on the now consistently cross-linked MI installboot(8) for details, if any. This syncs the list of currently existing MD boot_*(8/*) pages with the list of usr.sbin/installboot/*_installboot.c files. boot_alpha(8/alpha) already references installboot(8) but still uses sys/arch/alpha/stand/installboot/ instead of usr.sbin/installboot/. boot_luna88k(8/luna88k) exists but luna88k does not use installboot at all. installboot(8) has additional support for efi (armv7, arm64, riscv64), landisk, loongson, octeon and powerpc64 but those architectures currently lack their own MD boot_*(8/*) manual.
