From 5ed26c21e4ff1d478d4611abbf3dc14cc1b77244 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Ziaee Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 12:59:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] bsdinstall: Improve auto-partition message Manually tuning ZFS for systems with <8GB ram hasn't been necessary at least since the switch to OpenZFS. We have users reporting using 1GB RAM with no manual tuning/issues. Further, the page this links to is a stale wiki page, which is causing complaints. Remove this misleading note and replace it with a similar message for UFS. While here, reword that note to be a bit clearer.
