The link to Thomas M. Sommer's page titled 'How do I write "Hello, world" in FreeBSD assembler' on the acknowledgements page of the Developer's Handbook is broken. The original website that it was linked to is no longer up. I found a cached version of the original website on www.archive.org and an unformatted version of Thomas M. Sommer's article on another website, both of which are linked below. I replaced the original outdated link with the www.archive.org one because it has the original formatting of the HTML file. 


The page with the broken link: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/x86-acknowledgements.html

The replacement links:
