Cut the System Administration chapter roughly in half. Create a new
chapter: Disks, Filesystems, and Boot Loaders.
Put new chapter in rough order:
*new hard disks
*UFS tricks
*foreign filesystems
*foreign loaders
*removeable disks
*misc
This makes the monstrous System Administration chapter short enough to
be almost usable.

this as an article for a German-language newsgroup, and people felt

English translation of the article to me and asked me to review it.
Finally, Kirk graciously reviewed it, too.

to ports as in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

the best we have, and the least we can do is be consistent in its
usage :)
