RAID-Stripe Documentation (geom)

Hi folks,

Pretty straight forward documentation but it would be nice if you could
copy the paragraph "Now move all data from the boot disk over to this
new file system."  from:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html
to:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-striping.html

As otherwise people wonder why it isn't working.

Also the /dev/stripe/xx0 disks don't show in sysinstall, new FreeBSD
users might get confused, so adding a note that the Installer won't pick
up the /dev/stripe devices would be good (atacontrol created arX disks
obviously get picked up) should this escalate to some other instance?

In my opinion the /dev/stripe /dev/mirrorr and so on devices SHOULD be
recognized by the installer (if geom_stripe/geom_mirror) is loaded...

Thanks,

Steve C
