	Unfamiliar user installing FreeBSD.

>Description:

	(a) [Trivial]

	If the disk geometry is detected by FreeBSD to be "impossible"
	the message says to consult the hardware guide or use the
	'G' command to change it now.

	"now" is on the next screen.  Maybe this is obvious to
	others, but I tried 'G' right away.  No result.

	(b) [Confusing]

	I would like to see the text above the custom URL setting for
	a FTP transfer advise that the URL shouldn't include the
	release directory (e.g. 2.2-BETA).

	Also, a pointer to the options screen to change the ftp user
	name and password if not using anonymous ftp would be nice.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install when you don't really know what you are doing!

>Fix:
