[minor] Section 2.2 in the handbook is slightly misleading in the way it lists the architecture requirements for system processor, specifically in regards to Intel processors not listed under amd64. Release page: https://www.freebsd.org/where.html has a much more concise and clear explanation but they don't link to one another and can cause confusion because of differences in wording.
Created attachment 172894 [details] Light rework of 2.2 with attempt to clarify Intel support of amd64 architecture and 2 minor spelling fixes I reworked the beginning of section 2.2 in order to clarify Intel's support of the amd64 architecture. Also added a link to the FreeBSD download page, and fixed two minor spelling mistakes later in the chapter.
Created attachment 173600 [details] 2.2 rewrite final approved patch Updated original patch after reviewing with wblock.
