Description bobj 2000-01-22 03:40:00 UTC
Found a few typos near the end of Chapter 2.  URLs refer to the 
on-line pages in which the typos were found:

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-trouble.html
From Section 2.4.1. What to do if something goes wrong...
"Warning: Do not disable any drivers you will need during 
the installation, such as your screen (sc0). If the
installation wedges or fails mysertiously after leaving 
the configuration editor, you have probably removed or
changed something you should not have. "  The word 
"mysteriously" is misspelled.

Same URL, i.e. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-trouble.html
From Section 2.4.2. MS-DOS User's Questions and Answers 
"FIPS allows you to split an existing MS-DOS parition 
into two pieces, preserving the original partition and 
allowing you to install onto the second free piece."
The first use of the word "partition" is misspelled.
The same misspelling appears two more times near the end 
of the section, in the following sentences: 
"This example assumes, of course, that your extended 
parition is on SCSI drive 0. For IDE drives, substitute 
wd for da appropriately. You otherwise mount extended 
paritions exactly like you would any other DOS drive, 
for example: "

Fix: 

Change misspellings that are noted above.
