43c5cead2a After some (long-standing ;-) critics from Bruce, throw away the old
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. :)

78878d252b Add new option to fdisk: -e
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.

db2d7d3fb6 Drop the embedded boot code in favour of a -B option which reads
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.

864e7b2e63 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).

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.
