-An RC script for use with the cpuctl(4) microcode update facility to keep your
-processor's firmware up-to-date. CPU microcode data must be installed from a

+An RC script for one of two methods to update CPU microcode.
+
+Early loading, which does not require this RC script, is usually the preferred
+method because updates are applied before the kernel performs CPU feature
+detection. The other method, which requires this RC script, is late loading.

+CPU microcode data can be installed from one of the sysutils/cpu-microcode-*
+ports.
