This article you mention does not exist on our documentation base (yet?) so if there is anything wrong we cannot change it. If the documentation is incorrect (I noticed someone mentioning that tis is an intel problem and not a documentation problem) please notify me (or doc@) and we can help you to try and fix the article (we need to contact loader@FreeBSDmall.com I think) Thanks!
