Add a 'chain' command in interactive mode that allows you to vary the
...
size of the partitions, while the starting point gets adjusted automagically.
This chaining works for partitions that are not 'unused'.

Fix disklabel -t to work with disks that don't end on a cylinder. Before it

wasn't adding a "su" entry, so when the disktab was read, the sectors per

Fixes PR/7446 reported by Matthias Buelow <mkb@altair.mayn.de>.

Only use int13 extensions if the sectors can not be read through the
...
older CHS interface. This works around stupid BIOSs who report that
int13 extensions are present and functional, but fail when you actually
use them. Like Adaptec SCSI BIOSs.
For the bootselector, there was no space to get the CHS info from
the BIOS. Instead, use a flag that can be set by fdisk. fdisk will
set it if one of the partitions on the disk is out of CHS reach
for this disk/BIOS, so that the bootselector will use int13 extensions.
This isn't so bad, because it needs to be configured via fdisk anyway.
Change the mbr manualpage to reflect some shorter error messages.

Make the bootselector configurable by fdisk. Add a -B flag to this

effect (i386 only of course). Also change one branch in the
bootselector code to an explicit 16 bit one, and check both
the boot menu and partition tables to see if the partition
requested by the user should be booted. This check just in case,
should the bootselector menu and partition table get out of sync
somehow. (mmm, bytesqueezing)
