I'd like to add a fdisk -s command after 4.0.  What -s would do is
produce a much boiled down fdisk output, for two consumers.  First,
for people who don't want to wade through a whole screen of stuff, and
second for scripts.  Here's the current output.  Lemme know what you
think.

BTW, I'm also in the middle of writing a prepdisk script that uses
fdisk and disklabel to properly and easily label a disk for use under
FreeBSD.  I'll post that later and would like to include that in
FreeBSD as well, given how restricted disklabel auto's intended
purpose is.  I may also do a gui, but that will likely take more time
than I have to devote to this.

# fdisk -s da2

parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
