>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?

 Simple typo s,separates,separated, ? (key 's' is next to 'd' in the middle
 keyboard line)
