7914c60f5a o Add -p flag: print a slice table in fdisk configuration file format.
Now it is possible to do something like fdisk -p ad0 | fdisk -f - ad1.

df77f711f3 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. :)

e6fb3dde93 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.

26721a89ff Drop the embedded boot code in favour of a -B option which reads

"-b bootcode" option; use getopt(3); clarify usage(); partially

4ddd60b905 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).
