Well, actually I think it would make for a nice addition to the guide.
The FreeBSD Handbook also has some ``UNIX basics'', which certainly
help the user understand what's going on.  But this certainly would take
more time, so why don't you just import your addition to chap-boot, and
if/when we find the time and decide to write a filesystems chapter, we
re-arrange things...
