Patch

Remove the --ignore-missing option from the sha256sum command given for
verifying the checksum of a downloaded release. This option exists under
Linux but does not appear to exist under FreeBSD. Running the command
given in the handbook returns the following error:

sha256sum: illegal option -- -
usage: sha256sum [-pqrtx] [-c file] [-s string] [files ...]

Removing the incorrect option allows the sha256sum command to run correctly.
