Hello I was just browsing the online version of the installation guide: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-guide. html and found that where it is talking about the installation floppies (2.2.1.1 Creating the Installation Floppies), in the last paragraph of the 3rd point (3. Write the image files to the floppy disks), the first two sentences are these: On FreeBSD /dev/fd0 refers to the first floppy disk (the A: drive). /dev/rfd1 would be the B: drive, and so on. I suppose the B: drive would be /dev/fd1, and this typo (saying it to be /dev/rfd1) can be quite confusing if somebody is about to install FreeBSD for the first time. I would like to send a patch, but I can't, as I'm unfortunately on windows right now, but I think it won't be hard to find the error on the base of this description. And maybe you already know about this error, but for me it is so rare to find an error (even so small) in the FreeBSD docs., that I had to send this mail, so long as it is... So, keep up the good work, and have fun Kristof _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
