New Revision: 287396
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/287396

Log:
  It's 2015, and some people are still trying to use fdisk and then
  go asking what debug flags to set for GEOM to make it work.  Advice
  them to use gpart(8) instead.
  
  Something similar should probably done with disklabel,
  but I need to rewrite the disklabel examples first.
