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).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
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).

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.]

again.) This whole getmntopt() business is an incredible botch;
it never should have been anything more than a wrapper around
getsubopt(3). Because if the way the current hackaround is implemented,
options which take arguments (like the old `rsize' and `wsize') are still
unavailable, and must be accessed the new, broken way.
(It's unimaginable how Berkeley managed to screw up one of the few things
about NFS that Sun actually got right to begin with!)
