Those are the ones.  I don't understand "it seems bind".

They couldn't be less friendly :-)

Yes, we know that things could be a lot better.  If it helps, grab a
copy of the document on
ftp://freefall.FreeBSD.ORG/incoming/disksetup.ps.gz.  If you do, and
you have trouble, *please* let me know so that I can fix it.

I don't think anybody's particularly proud about the current state of
affairs.  We're just hoping that somebody will come by and fix it.
