The commit below selects the new "bsdlabel" program instead of the old disklabel program. This hopefully makes the partitioning process more intuitive on BSD label platforms. The hightlights are: * All the "historical" fields are hidden and handled automatically unless -A argument given. You should practically never need -A. * -r argument ignored (to keep scripts working). The "raw" functionality is automatically activated where necessary. * default type for -w is "auto". You can now put a label on a disk simply with "disklabel -w /dev/ad0" Please check the man-page, I have updated it to reflect current reality. Improvements to both program and manual page are most welcome.
