some reason, mboot.bootinst is not initialized to NULL at the beginning
of the program, then the last commit to this would try to free whatever
bogus address is in it.
- Restore the behavior of free()'ing the mboot.bootinst buffer after we
abuse it to determine the sector size of the disk (as clearly noted in
the comments). Properly fix the double free() bug by setting the pointer
to NULL after we free it.
explicitly sets the geometry.
- Allow for MBR boot loaders that are longer than one sector. Only accept
boot loaders if their size is a multiple of the sector size, however.
Made mount more userfriendly (bad slashes are now filtered out)
and we remove in mount_nfs trailing slashes if there are any.
Fixed mount_xxx binarys to resolve with realpath(3)
the mountpoint.
Translate the deprecated nfs-syntax with '@' to ':' .
The ':' syntax has now precedence, but '@' still works.
Notify the user that the '@' syntax should not be used.

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.

revise man page; etc.
"nowin95" as arguments to the "-o" flag, as alternatives to "-G", "-s",
"-l", and "-9"; when running "mount_msdos" by hand, that doesn't let you
do anything you couldn't already do, but if you're letting "mount" run
it, it lets you specify those options, which is especially useful if,
for example, you have an entry in "/etc/fstab" for some file system,
with "noauto" set, so you can conveniently mount a DOS partition from a
removable drive and force it to treat the file system as VFAT rather
than boring old FAT.

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.
