Author: wblock (doc committer) Date: Mon Feb 10 17:41:40 2014 New Revision: 261721 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/261721 Log: MFC r261522: Describe the use of a freebsd-boot GPT partition, brought up by Scot Hetzel <swhetzel@gmail.com> on the -doc mailing list. Also modify the Author section to be clear that I wrote the man page, not gptboot.
