  Modified:    sbin/i386/fdisk  fdisk.c
  Log:
  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.]
