Is there something wrong with the installation instructions at:

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

I keep seeing you recommend that site (yours?) as the instructions to
follow.  If there's something lacking in the official instructions,
wouldn't it be better to update those so they get a proper peer
review?

Best regards,

Randy
