Hi,

Some more differences between for 4.X and from
5.3, needs to be clarified in the handbook.
Below are two such cases. The "-" lines need to
be removed, the "+" newly added instead.

------------------------------------------------

2.2.7 Prepare the Boot Media

-In most cases you will just need two files,
-kern.flp and mfsroot.flp.

+In case of 4.X, you will just need two files,
+kern.flp and mfsroot.flp; since 5.3, you will
+need three files, boot.flp, kern1.flp and
+kern2.flp.

------------------------------------------------

2.12.1 Installing FreeBSD on a System
       without a Monitor or Keyboard

-To do this, you have to mount the kern.flp
-floppy onto your FreeBSD system using the
-mount(8) command.

+To do this, you have to put the kern.flp floppy
+(in case of 4.X) or the boot.flp floppy (since
+5.3) into your floppy drive, and mount the
+floppy onto your FreeBSD system using the
+mount(8) command.

------------------------------------------------

Please consider these modifications.

Regards,
Rob.
