Handbook Section 17.9.2 (Creating a File- or Memory-Backed Memory Disk)

The line which reads:

This example creates an empty 5K file named newimage:


Should actually state that the command creates a 5.0MB file.

This is shown in the sample output and easily verifiable by anyone when they
run the shown command:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=newimage bs=1k count=5k
