FreeBSD 9.0 RELEASE - amd64
>Description:
man gparm: set command describes -f as the only specific option to gparm set and mentions that for further info, the section ATTRIBUTES must be consulted.

However:
- the -f option apparently has no relation to ATTRIBUTES
- the -a option is used for the ATTRIBUTES
>How-To-Repeat:
man gparm, read the 'set' command section
>Fix:
Change documentation:
- mention that the attributes are set using -a, not -f
