as promised, I have included the second version of my patch:
- add some forgotten </para>
- <screen> and friends should not be inside a <para> entity
- Use <command>foo</command> instead of screen in the disk label section
- Use <procedure> for this section
- disklabel -e <device> auto was replaced by disklabel -e <device> (looks
like an artifact from a copy&paste action)
- use <replaceable></replaceable> instead of <>, <>, <> in some
places
- <screen> tags should snuggle up to their content
- reduce the number of sentences torn apart by screen presentations
