-HOW TO USE THIS SYSTEM
-======================
-
-[press the PageDown key to go to the next screen when you finish
- reading this one]
-
-The following keys are recognized in most of the dialogs you'll
-encounter during this installation:
-
-KEY ACTION
---- ------
-SPACE Select or toggle the current item.
-ENTER Finish with a menu or item.
-UP ARROW Move to previous item (or up, in a text display box).
-DOWN ARROW Move to next item (or down, in a text display box).
-TAB Move to next item or group.
-RIGHT ARROW Move to next item or group (same as TAB).
-SHIFT-TAB Move to previous item or group.
-LEFT ARROW Move to previous item or group (same as SHIFT-TAB).
-PAGE UP In text display boxes, scrolls up one page.
-PAGE DOWN In text display boxes, scrolls down one page.
-F1 Display associated help text.
-
-If you see small "^(-)" or "v(+)" symbols at the edges of a menu, it
-means that there are more items above or below the current one that
-aren't being shown (due to insufficient screen space). In text
-display boxes, the amount of text above the current point will be
-displayed as a percentage in the lower right corner. Using the
-Up/Down arrow keys will cause the object to scroll by line. The
-PageUp and PageDown keys will scroll by entire screens.
-
-Selecting OK in a menu will confirm whatever action it's controlling.
-Selecting Cancel will cancel the operation and generally return you to
-the previous menu. Use TAB to move the cursor around and select the
-buttons.
-
-Most screens offer a Help button - USE IT! It generally offers useful
-context-specific hints on what to do and if you're at all unsure about
-what to do at a given configuration menu, choose Help!
-
-
-SPECIAL FEATURES:
-=================
-
-It is possible to select a menu item by typing the first character of
-its name, if unique. This will generally be an item number.
-
-The console driver contains a scroll-back buffer for reviewing things
-that may have scrolled off the screen. To use scroll-back, press the
-"Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard and use the arrow or Page Up/Page
-Down keys to move through the saved text. To leave scroll-back mode,
-press the Scroll Lock key again. This feature is most useful for
-reading back through your boot messages (go ahead, try it now!) though
-it's also useful when dealing with sub-shells or other "expert modes"
-that don't use menus and tend to scroll their output off the top of
-the screen.
-
-FreeBSD also supports multiple "virtual consoles" which you can use
-in order to have several active sessions at once. Use ALT-F<n> to
-switch between screens, where `F<n>' is the function key corresponding
-to the screen you wish to see. By default, the system comes with 8
-virtual consoles enabled - you can enable more by editing the
-/etc/ttys file and turning the "off" field to "on" in the relevant vty
-entries (up to 12).
