39348b56a9 Rewrite the intro material. Explain what partitions are. Nuke the 
copy that talks about view.exe, makeflp.bat, install.bat, and others,
because they don't exist any more.

Move the copy about installing from MSDOS partitions, tapes, and so on,
to the end of this chapter.  It needs a lot more work first.

1853b9bcf6 CD-ROM -> CDROM 
O'Reilly has standardized on 'CD-ROM' as have several other
publishers, however 'CDROM' outnumbers 'CD-ROM' 2 to 1 in our
documentation and it has always appeared this way on FreeBSD CDs from
Walnut Creek/BSDi/WRS.  I don't have a preference either way as long
as it stays consistent.
