>Description:
The below patch will add an important <note> section which will
remind the users to update their firmwares before installing
FreeBSD, as this could be a problem.
Half the PRs in the Database, are lying their becuase the users
did not update their Firmware BIOS, and stuff..
Hope it gets in ;)
