[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi folks-- It's been a long day of code hacking so I might not be real coherent. I'm staring at the "Preparing for Installation" part of the "Installing FreeBSD" chapter (i.e. the text before Randy Pratt's most excellent illustrated installation guide). There's a few i386-isms contained within (some pathnames, boot-up instructions, MS-DOS User's Q&A). Is this a problem? Some of them are addressed by the installation document that is a part of RELNOTESng, which is why it's an architecture-specific document. Bruce. PS. As an aside, the installation document in RELNOTESng is a real mess. It has this "Dr. Frankenstein's monster" look to it (well, really it's Dr. Mah's monster). I'd love suggestions as to how to improve its organization (including cutting out sections, if necessary). Syncing to the Handbook is not quite what I had in mind, because I don't want to lose the non-i386-specific content.
