patch for bsdinstall chapter

After reviewing the uploaded patch, I realized it's already partially merged.
So I redid the reference for virtualization by adding a "TIP" and adding in the
paragraph in regards to partitions.

Feedback welcome.

I'd merge the repeated "virtualization" into one. Something like: 

An alternative is to use
crossref:virtualization[virtualization,virtualization], which allows...

Same here, and I think I'd keep "An alternative...". Or maybe just keep the
added earlier mention and remove this one, not sure.
