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.

: Make fdisk initialize the first instead of the last slice by default.
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. :)
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.
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.
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).
utility for front-ending its operation more of a possibility.

/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.
