en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall/chapter.xml
493 ↗	(On Diff #21398)	"This file" is not needed, the reader already knows it is a file. Maybe just leave that out and start with Like <literal>-bootonly</literal>, does not include installation files, but downloads them as needed. A working internet connection is required during installation. (Note: "internet" no longer needs capitalization: http://www.poynter.org/2016/ap-style-change-alert-dont-capitalize-internet-and-web-any-more/404664/)
497 ↗	(On Diff #21398)	Two spaces before a new sentence, but the redundant "This file" can be better. "Should be burned" is kind of passive, and files aren't really "burned" to USB flash. How about: Write this file to a <acronym>USB</acronym> memory stick as shown in (link). Link goes to the write a memory stick instructions.

499 ↗	(On Diff #21400)	This should go to the directory section: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html#bsdinstall-usb See https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/docbook-markup-links.html#docbook-markup-links-to-web-documents for how to generate the URL. There are spaces in the link title, so this should be wrapped.

499 ↗	(On Diff #21400)	Sorry, this is in the same document. So this should be an <xref>.

Changed link to an xref internal link.
Build test and Igor came back clean.
