newbie comments

this is part test post, and part comments to help other newbs.

please correct any misstatements.

http://www.forthos.org/setup.html includes
dd bs=4k iseek=1 oseek=1 if=ForthOS1 of=/dev/ad0s2

on slackware linux, dd (coreutils) 5.0 syntax:
dd bs=4k skip=1 seek=1 if=ForthOS1 of=/dev/ad0s2
ie.
iseek is skip
oseek is seek

in the reference to fdisk partition type 158:

this is fdisk type 9E, which shows up as type unknown in fdisk v2.12.
it makes sense that Andy chose since it is unused.

finally, as a forth newbie, i at first expected to use "mkfs -t ...".
but the ForthOS uses blocks, so mkfs is not needed.
