304d831859 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).

7b9dce080d Allow fdisk to be driven from a configuration file, making a 3rd-party
utility for front-ending its operation more of a possibility.

f35890901a 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.]

cd53830060 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.

a7126a6a16 remove the calls to DIOCWLABEL, as it isn't supported any more
and the error message confuses the user.

79384fe51b 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.

c4b64391bf 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.

f7b7df385e 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.

19e34663ff 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.

b5b37b7f12 The fdisk man page doesn't show correctly the usage possibilities of
fdisk.  It was missing the disk argument.
