System: FreeBSD 4.5

>Description:
The FreeBSD handbook installation chapter, has an
<important> note about growfs(8), listing that it will be a new
feature in FreeBSD 5.0.  This is untrue, the man page for
growfs(8) has been around since 4.4, and even specifies that
the command originally showed in 4.4.

>How-To-Repeat:
Read the config chapter, then man 8 growfs

>Fix:
This patch, will adjust the install/chapter.sgml so that it
will point out the truth, which is that the command in question,
growfs(8) first appeared in 4.4
