Problem 1:  Check out http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/.  I've
referred to this so much, I have copies printed out in a folder so I can
use the references easier.

Problem 2:  Being a relative FBSD-newbie myself, I haven't seen this in
any other thread here.  Regulars?  (I'm curious myself!)
