ef8b01d795 Update the disk organization section of the very old Basics chapter.
This chapter referred to images from the retired Install chapter, which
were missing from the Makefile.  Some of the information was out of
date.  The original disk organization diagram had been created in an
application that has not existed for over a decade, so I wrote a new
diagram in PostScript.  This addresses the PR below.  This needs to be
extended to add a GPT version.

8614444d5d Move title tags into their own line and remove preceding empty lines
from these where appropriate. No content change, so translators can

995f0b4820 Change the "basics" chapter to document FreeBSD 9 and 10 over FreeBSD 8:
- The system console is now cons25, not xterm
 - acd0 devices are no longer used, switch to ada
 - We no longer have as many FSF utilities, therefore fewer info pages

397cff5e54 When talking about IDE/SATA disks, prioritise SATA over IDE, and "ada"
style naming over "ad".  The latter has been the default since FreeBSD
9, and available since FreeBSD 8.

60d158cabd Move contents of 18.1 to Table 4.3. The contents were duplicate and belong
in the Basics section.
Remove diskonchip flash entry as it is no longer included in a supported version.
The page holding Table 4.3 still needs a tech review as it is outdated.

66b4f93ae6 Clarify explanation of top(1) output for ZFS. 2014-03-16 21:19:22 +00:00
Remko Lodder
22e3118700 I think that the output from top that is presented here
is shown twice.  Probably an older example was here first
which was updated to also show ZFS statistics (like ARC
usage).  I removed the 'older' version since it does not
seem to have any relation at all with the output shown
directly beneath it.

ed0e15bccd I think the reference here is a little mistake. We talk
about \ on the line above the changed line because
Windows uses that.  We then state that FreeBSD does not
use that, but with our Unix Slash (/) in the example.

My feeling is that this should have been the Windows
slash to make it clear that this does not work and
should not be used on FreeBSD (or most other Unixes
for that matter).

Note to translators:  I am very, very sorry.  There was no *clean* way
to merge this as separate commits.  Trust me, I tried.
The revision logs for the ISBN branch should provide some insight to what
content has changed.  I am more than happy to help out here.  Sorry :(
