The guide in question:

^^^^^
You are looking at an older version of the handbook which has the
copyright year 2004 and covers FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE and FreeBSD
5.2.1-RELEASE which is hosted on one of our project developer's
homepage. You might want to compare it with the current version of the
handbook which can be found here (just use the direct link on
FreeBSD.org on the documentation link):

Oh my... a search engine made me do it.

Thanks for the correction, but my comment is relevant to the current 
guide too.
