Section 11.2 of the Handbook shows emulators/linux_base-f10 being installed before loading the linux kernel module. However, if emulators/linux_base-f10 is installed before the linux kernel is loaded it fails with a "linux_base-f10 linuxulator is not (kld)loaded" error. Fix: Reverse the steps in the documentation. Show the linux kernel module being loaded first followed by the installation of emulators/linux_base-f10. How-To-Repeat: Open Handbook to Section 11.2.
