Looks good, but:

It doesn't render too well under Konquerer - the examples are smashed
into a single, very long, line vanishing off the right side of the
screen.

It is more legible with IE, where it just looses the left hand edge.

Shouldn't the examples start with "make sure the SECOND disk ..."?

Maybe there should be additional comments at tbe bsdlabel -e stage to
the effect that this is where you create your partitions, and that it is
a good idea to have worked out in advance how big they are to be?

Will this make its way into the handbook?
