Hi,

I have a patch that improves the documentation for FreeBSD Kernel Tuning:

- Show a # prompt instead of $ to indicate a root shell is needed
- Remove the -w flag to sysctl since it is not needed anymore and just silently ignored
- Encourage the user to set the read-only sysctls in /boot/loader.conf, instead of setting them manually in the loader.

I have put these in a github fork of the repo, but I am new to git. So I apologize if this is incorrect.

Regards,
Brad Davis
