  Well, a possible restructurization might look as follows (as a general
idea, extensive rewording is needed here):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A standard FreeBSD GPT installation uses at least three partitions: 
Standard FreeBSD GPT Partitions
  o freebsd-boot
  o freebsd-ufs
  o freebsd-swap
More complex installation/partitioning scenarios might contain (including,
but not limited to (TM)) any of the following gpt-partition-types:
  o freebsd-zfs
  o freebsd-an-exotic-gptpartitiontype-#1
  o freebsd-an-exotic-gptpartitiontype-#N
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
