There is an omission in the installation instructions that renders them virtually 
useless for a first time user, such as myself.

You do specify how much disk space is needed, but how many partitions must I make, 
and how big must they be? I have gathered that a root is required, a user is 
recommended, and a swap should take around 16MB.

Please add a paragraph describing at least a partitioning scheme for a standard 
intel based BSD system.

Thanks for your time, and thank you for preparing the documentation!
