The only section of the installation proceedure that i had to call a BSD savvy friend for was when i had to allocate space to the individual slices on the drives and mount them. After going through it, it all seems very simple, but at the time, i had no clue what i should do after i had switched the drives over to a BSD filesystem. If a section that explained slices, their average sizes, and thier use in the BSD filesystem were to be put in the online handbook, this would probably help someone like myself in the future.
