1. Note that the boot media must match the FreeBSD version that the

local FTP site, and that this can be overridden by setting
   distribution name to 'any' in the Options menu.
2. Add link to releng article in section about making installation CDs.
3. Remove old commented out section.
4. Update this section to use disc rather than disk when referring to
   optical media, as is the case in the rest of this chapter.
