partman-zfs warning template wording



Hello Robert (CC'ed to get attention...of course no need to CC me back
in answers),

I'd like to comment on the reinstated partman-zfs template:

_Description: Go back to the menu and correct this problem?
 You have configured one or more partitions with the ZFS file
 system. Although ZFS is supported on i386, using it without
 special tuning may lead to performance or stability problems
 due to limitations of the Intel 386 architecture.
 .
 You're encouraged to either use the AMD64 version of this
 installer (if your hardware supports this), or go back to the
 partitioning menu and configure your partitions to use another
 filesystem.

I corrected the last "filesystem" to "file system" but, more
generally, I'm wondering about the general idea.

If I understand well, partman-zfs is unstable on kfreebsd-i386 but
fine on kfreebsd-amd64. However, would it be a problem to talk about
"32 bits systems" and "64 bits systems" instead of "i386" and "amd64"?
These arches names are confusing enough, imho.

Something like:

_Description: Go back to the menu and correct this problem?

 special tuning may lead to performance or stability problems.
 .
 You're encouraged to either use the 64 bits version of this
 installer, referred as "amd64 architecture" (if your hardware
 supports this), or go back to the partitioning menu and configure
 the partitions to use another file system.

(also dropping one occurrence or "*your* partitions"....as partitions
are not "mine")
