In 6.3, you say:

Change your current directory to the Boost root directory and invoke bjam as 
follows:

bjam --build-dir=build-directory \
     --toolset=toolset-name stage

but then the Unix example is given as:

$ cd ~/boost_1_34_0
$ bjam --build-dir=~/build-boost --prefix=~/boost

and doesn't follow the instruction above. It omits --toolset and 
includes --prefix without explanation.
