wasn't adding a "su" entry, so when the disktab was read, the sectors per
unit was initialized to "nc"*"sc" which was wrong.

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.
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)
.Sh "SEE ALSO"
to:
.Sh SEE ALSO
The doc macros check for the latter (actually just for 'SEE' as the first
argument to .Sh) to set the section header SEE ALSO flag, which modifies
some behaviour (e.g. references done with .Rs/.Re).
of the new fs has uid.gid equal to the euid.egid of the process
which made it. This change permits users who have write access to
a device (say a floppy) to create a filesystem that, when mounted,
they have write access to.
This change closes PR bin/5990 from jbernard@ox.mines.edu, and is also the
change requested in PR bin/6276 from "Charles M. Hannum" <mycroft@netbsd.org>
need to swap, allocate a buffer for the swapped summaries rather than using
writebuf. The latter is fixed at 64k, which is only enough room to hold
4096 summaries. Creating an fs with more results in a buffer overrun.
