>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-BETA i386
>Environment:
Any CAMified -current i386 system
>Description:
Unless a disk is specified on the command line, fdisk tries to access
wd0, then sd0, then od0. sd0 is an obsolete name and may confuse
users. Additionally, on a newly created -current system, it appears
that the sd0 device does not exist. (This has only been done by
examining MAKEDEV, not experimentally.)
Unless there is a reason to keep this default, I propose it be changed
to da0.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a system with no wd0, run fdisk with no parameters. The message
******* Working on device /dev/rsd0 *******
will be emitted.
>Fix:
