There are many man pages that do not have the same name as any program
or file in in the filesystem. Often like mount, there is a separate man
page for special subsets of the command.
mount_*
fsck_*
share_*
None of the above items exist as an independent command, all are
explanations of subsets of the shorter command.
In each case the SYNOPSIS section of the man page should detail the
needed command (including path if it is uncommon).
(Plus there's the man page for 'boot'... good luck finding that one)
