b8c19fd719 It's 2015, and some people are still trying to use fdisk and then
go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work.  Advice
them to use gpart(8) instead.

Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.

6b99842ada Globally replace u_int*_t from (non-contributed) man pages.
The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.

I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

86e0bd0dc0 The disk labels generated by bsdlabel can no address more than
0xffffffff sectors.  Document this limit and avoid installing bogus
labels on disks with more sectors.

Allowing the installation of labels addressing as much of the disk as
possiable may be a useful addition in some situations, but this was easy
to implement and should reduce confusion.

57dfbec57b More axe-work:
Hide all the historical fields of the label, unless people ask for them with -A,
set them to intelligently chosen defaults otherwise.

Distill the manual page to remove inaccuracies, misundertandings and obsolete
information.  It can probably still be done better but now at least it is
not misinforming people.

bc33ea1acc Teach disklabel(8) about different hardware architectures.
This is aimed at creating floppies during cross-releases.
For different endianness machines, a tool like bswapfs(8)
is necessary to make the generated floppies readable on
the target machine.  While here, fixed unaligned access
on Alphas.

9a9f19b166 Give this manpage a good overhaul, including the markup.
Notable changes:

- Removed the "disktype" argument from the -B only synopsis
  form.  This form doesn't touch the disk label, and doesn't
  use this argument.

- Fixed the first example in the EXAMPLES section.  Support
  for compatibility slices has been recently dropped from
  the GEOM kernels, and a bit later GEOM became standard.

- Removed the buggy notion from rev. 1.37 that disklabel(8)
  may be used to define mount points; it cannot.  Improve
  some DOS partition / FreeBSD slice wording.  Among these,
  ``dangerously-dedicated slice'' was just a nonsense.  ;-)

8d48318bbb Drop the silly notion that i386 has two bootstrap files now that sys/boot
creates a single file named just "boot".

Apart from the fact that the option "-s" is now gone and that "-b" should
be pointed at /boot/boot instead of /boot/boot1, this patch should be
a no-op.

f080d33b66 Retire the "-N" and "-W" options which implemented write-protection
for the disklabel:  This facility is OBE.

First of all, we cannot sensibly implement this in a properly stacked
environment.

Second, if we did, it would confuse the heck out of users who
wouldn't be able to "start from scratch" by dd(8)'ing /dev/zero
onto /dev/da0.

Third, the offered protection is not comprehensive: no other software
would respect it.

Fourth and finally, the disklabel is already protected against
tampering if it controls open partitions.

Uselessness of these options discussed with:	peter

e40fcc9819 In the words of the submitter:
disklabel(8)'s "Reading the disk label" section starts out "To examine
	or save the label on a disk drive,...".  This is confusing.  The given
	command (disklabel [-r] disk) doesn't save anything (except to standard
	out, but that should go without saying).  It reads as if the command
	might save something on the disk drive.
