then recommend to use gpart(8).

Bump the document date to reflect the 'p' command enhancements.

Enhance the 'p' command so that it understands size qualifiers (K/M/G) and
so that it understands '*' as 'DTRT'.

Remove whitespace at EOL.

After some (long-standing ;-) critics from Bruce, throw away the old
device search code i introduce nearly six years ago in rev 1.8. Bruce
suggested to rather use the device name of the root filesystem instead
which is certainly the most sensible default. Since there are many
possible cases for a root filesystem name (device with and without
slices, consider /dev/vinum/root even though it currently could not
work as such), there's some heuristic using a RE in order to find out
the canonical device name from the mounted name. This probably won't
quite fit for a NFS root (can't test that right now), but then,
there's hard to find a good default for those machines anyway. ;-)

This unbreaks the functionality of rev 1.2 i once broke in 1.8. :)

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Add new option to fdisk: -e

This wipes the MBR and creates slice 1 as a FreeBSD slice covering the
disk starting from the second track to the cylinder aligned end of the disk.

This is the most compatibly layout we have as far as I know.

Drop the embedded boot code in favour of a -B option which reads
the boot code from /boot/mbr, or elsewhere as defined by the revised
"-b bootcode" option; use getopt(3); clarify usage(); partially
revise man page; etc.

Note that a standard MBR supports booting only from hard drive 0

Add a -b option as a simple way to rewrite the mbr code
(eg. replacing a boot manager with a standard mbr)

sd0 -> da0

Correct use of .Nm, use .Bx Free for FreeBSD. Add rcsid, remove unused
#includes. Spelling. Use err(3) and add usage().

Number partitions 1-4, not 0-3.

Any existing config files (using the -f option) will need
to be changed although using the old files will usually result
in an error (partition 0 is invalid).

Allow fdisk to be driven from a configuration file, making a 3rd-party
utility for front-ending its operation more of a possibility.
