I don't have access to a BSD/OS machine to check the veracity of the
magic number. However, no harm will be done by the commit and since
someone was motivated enough to file a PR, I'm committing the change.

Add "." at the end of some sentances.
Also print "flag 80" in English.
Give hint that "sysid" for FreeBSD is 165 decimal.
Ensure active partition specified by user is 1-4.
permissions centrally and a setuid root mount utility just breaks
its security. There was no new breakage in practice because
mfdosfs_mount() still checks the ruid.
plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

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).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
the sd & od drivers. There is also slight changes to fdisk & newfs
in order to comply with different sectorsizes.
Currently sectors of size 512, 1024 & 2048 are supported, the only
restriction beeing in fdisk, which hunts for the sectorsize of
the device.
This is based on patches to od.c and the other system files by
John Gumb & Barry Scott, minor changes and the sd.c patches by
me.
There also exist some patches for the msdos filesys code, but I
havn't been able to test those (yet).

of the partition. Only if the size is 0 should the
special handling of 0 as first argument be triggered.
[This bug caused offset 0 to give C/H/S = 0/0/0 instead of 0/0/1.]
The init_sector0 function needs to decrease the first argument
to the second call to dos() by one to be consistent with the
calls to dos() in change_part().
[This bug caused fdisk -i to create bogus partition tables with
the ending C/H/S value 1 too high. This usually gives S = 1
instead of S = maximum, so the geometry guessing in the slice
code and perhaps in SCSI BIOSes was defeated.]
