In fact I'm forgetting the important: the architecture dependent parts.

- Sometimes ago I reorganized the 2.2 Hardware Requirements section with
  minimal configuration notes for various architectures but I still miss
  informations for both arm and powerpc.

- In "2.3.3 Decide Where to Install FreeBSD" we talk about i386 (and so
  amd64) and alpha disk layouts, is something needed for other archs?

- In "2.4.1 Booting", same remark as for the "2.3.3 Decide Where to
  Install FreeBSD" section.

- I think we should  s/2.3.3.1 Disk Layouts for the i386/2.3.3.1
  Disk Layouts for i386 and amd64 architectures/ and s/2.4.1.1 Booting
  for the i386/2.4.1.1 Booting for i386 and amd64 architectures/

- etc.
