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:
