Better ideas? I'd prefer it stay near the start (as the author), as it isn't really all that complicated (except possibly due to my writing style), and it's something that people often need to understand early on in the process of learning FreeBSD - possibly even at install time. But I'm not particularly motivated to argue about it - do whatever seems appropriate to most.
