d1b7313fca Add an entry for BSD/OS [23].x partition types.
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.

680426be8f Add NTFS partition type.
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.

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).

e37a137d7a OpenBSD uses ID 0xa6 for its partitions on i386, arc and others that need
a BIOS-like partition table.  We now detect this correctly and print the
right thing.

7cb29d3394 This update adds the support for != 512 byte sector SCSI devices to
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).

e29754402a The dos() function needs a new second argument, containing the size
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.]

4be1e61baf Code clean up. Prototypes, parentheses around assignments used in
if statements, #if 0 some unused code, use off_t in calls to read/
write_disk, fix a printf format, remove unused variables, and
#include necessary files.

e3038c6ef5 Update to the slices era. Make /dev/rfoo0 the defaults, not
/dev/rfoo0d.

Scan a list of devices instead of insisting on all the world
being wd0.

Allow for disk names to be specified (e.g. `sd0') instead of full
path names only.

Sync the man page with the reality.

c48cef7def Don't write outside of partp[] if the user gives an invalid partition
number for the partition to be made active.  Do nothing instead.  This
allows clearing all the active flags by specifying an invalid partition.

0b461cd7de Don't change the active partition when the user says not to change it.
Convert absolute sector 0 to C/H/S 0/0/0, not 0/0/1.

Open in O_RDWR mode for the undocumented -a option, so that -a can be
used without -u.

b60eb39594 Don't exit early if the device is not character special or if the
device driver cannot supply a label (real or faked).  This allows
you to practice using fdisk on disposable media (e.g., "dd count=1
<dev/zero >/tmp/junk; fdisk /tmp/junk", "dd count=1 </etc/passwd
>/tmp/fix-up-the-mess; fdisk /tmp/fix-up-the-mess") and allows me
to test DOSpartitioning and labelling on floppies.
