This seems a bit awkwardly phrased:

Perhaps

	FreeBSD versions before 4.0 work like NetBSD and OpenBSD (see above),
	except that the configuration file uses the key word "options"
	instead of "option".

Also, alphabetization would suggest putting the FreeBSD entry before the
other two, not after, so maybe that should be "see below".
