>Description:
I found two possible mistakes in doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.
(I am not sure if the first is really a mistake. It may come from my
poor ability in English.)
Here they are:
<question id="boot-read-error">
<para>A dialog will pop up requesting the number of
cylinders, heads and sectors. Type the numbers found from
the BIOS separates by forward slashes.
</para>
Is the wording of "separates" here gramatically correct?
This phrase can be easily understood even without the following example,
but I could not figure out what the subject of "separates", and got
a little bit confused when translating it.
<para>5000 heads, 250 sectors and 60 sectors would be entered as
<userinput>5000/250/60</userinput>
</para>
5000 cylinders, 250 heads and 60 sectors?
