One big proper English and content sweep of this chapter:

Browse source 
Mention:
- this chapter is a general guide, not a literal reference manual
- what partition types PResizer, FIPS, and PartitionMagic deal with
- subnet mask as a requirement to configure Ethernet interface
- most computers can boot from CDROM/DVD drive
- Windows does not report bad blocks when formatting floppies
- BIOS "list of devices" is commonly known as "Boot Order"
- If old OS loads, BIOS may not support boooting from desired media
- use of "U"ndo in FDisk Editor
- one needs to change their Keymap only if they're using a
  non-standard keyboard
- in FDisk Editor, when hitting 'C', default value is the largest
  available block
- BootMgr needs to be installed on both disks 1 and 2 if FreeBSD is
  being installed on disk 2
- how much space the FreeBSD Ports Collection uses
- purpose of NFS client
- how an improper X configuration can freeze the machine/installation
- how to "Cancel" out of the Package installer
- C-shell (example uses bash)

Remove:
- extranneous words
- periods after list of information required to configure Ethernet and
  PPP interfaces
- mention that there is "always" conflicts in UserConfig

Change:
- "installation routine will prompt you several times before writing
  any data to disc" -> ... "will prompt you before" ...

  There's only one real FINAL warning

- "Skip to the next section" -> "skip this section"
- "Irrespective of whether" -> "Whether"
- "Newer devices..., and be" -> "Newer devices..., and are"
- "A tape" -> "SCSI or QIC tape"
- <important> -> <warning> in some cases
- Its -> it's in some cases
- "/var directory contains varible length files" -> ... "contains
  files that are constantly varying"
- Network File Service -> Network File System
- optimise -> optimize
- "then asked" -> "then be asked"
- FreeBSD 3.4 -> FreeBSD &rel.current;
- partition ID 165 -> partition ID of 165

* Insert many commas and remove many others
* Include a link to the latest FreeBSD errata page
* Make use of &ms-dos and &windows entities
* Make use of <filename class="directory"> tags
* Properly markup some <acronym>'s
* Explain when one would use Standard or None as their boot manager
* Clarify when to use IPv6 auto-detection
* Make use of <hostid> tags
* Clarify testing the mouse daemon during configuration
* Remove repeated content about creating installation floppies in
* Advanced Installation section
* Use /floppy when example mounts a floppy
* Remove mention of CDROMs #3-5, since the project no longer publishes them
* Remove mention of how the mini-ISO was not produced prior to 4.4

* Many other minor technical and English clarifications
