Consider changing it to mention of using a "memstick" .img installer in Shell mode. I find them quite useful for rescue work and the install media can even be used to boot the new installation in bhyve(8).

Consider batching up floppy (and PC98!) removals. Any such documentation probably needs other help such as mentions of ZFS, VT, LLVM and countless new features.

I agree with dexter@ here, switching to the memstick image gives the user at least an idea about how to solve this. Thanks for working on this, both of you!
