bsdinstall.8: Clarify the description of ZFSBOOT_FORCE_4K_SECTORS
This variable does not set the exact sector size of the pool, but controls the minimum sector size. The sector size of the underlying disks can always be larger than the minium controlled by this knob. PR: 274513 Reported by: Albin "a12l" Otterhäll <bugs.freebsd.org@a12l.xyz>
