            Bug ID: 298241
           Summary: Upgrading the BIOS Boot Loader section could be
                    improved
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Manual Pages
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org

Screenshots show how to get the device name and index for the commands but I
was in a hurry and ran the first command now realising it was for ZFS.

An extra screenshot before the commands showing UFS or ZFS would have caught my
attention and stopped this.

=>       40  488397088  nda0  GPT  (233G)
         40       1024     1  freebsd-boot  (512K)
       1064  480246784     2  freebsd-ufs  (229G)

the extra line with the UFS highlighted and saying run this command (not the
one I ran) would have been more obvious. Instead I had to flash a live USB and
run the correct command after connecting a monitor and keyboard (it's a
headless server).

For those reasons and the fact I missed it (was late probably tired) I think it
would be worth adding a UFS and ZFS example to look for before saying run this
or that.

Other wise it was a really good set of instructions.
