    bsdinstall: Improve auto-partition message
    
    Manually tuning ZFS for systems with <8GB ram hasn't been necessary at
    least since the switch to OpenZFS. We have users reporting using 1GB RAM
    with no manual tuning/issues. Further, the page this links to is a stale
    wiki page, which is causing complaints. Remove this misleading note and
    replace it with a similar message for UFS. While here, reword that note
    to be a bit clearer.
