2e897de412 Correct documentation on kernel option for SCSI_DELAY for CDROM 
timeouts.  Quotes around kernel options with numbers went out in the
Stone Age, and using whole seconds went out when CAM arrived.

Also add a very brief description of what this option does.

beea8c1505 Move CDROM "device not configured" error information from FAQ to 
Handbook.

I believe that the answer given in the FAQ is incorrect, but am not
enough of a SCSI stud to confirm it.  I'll be forwarding the info to
the -scsi list and asking for confirmation or denial before I make any
content changes.

bcf62d4c42 Describe slices and partitions a little better. 
An an aside, most of this part of the chapter is marked up
incorrectly--e.g., <quote> is used where something like <devicename>
is much more appropriate.  This delta doesn't help, but keeps things
relatively consistent.
