Because there are so many more partitions on pc98 than on wintel (16 vs 4), supress all unused partition output unless -v is specified. This makes operating on a 'typical' disk with one partition less painful. The 30 lines needed for the empty partitions no longer scroll the useful information off the screen. When the user requests a specific partition, the unused information is not suppressed.
Also add the partition name to the -s output.
Initialize the partition name to 'FreeBSD' when -I is specified.

o Bump date (thanks ru) o Also, fdisk_pc98 appears to support -i, so add it to the man page. o Ditto -v o Change the name from PC partition table maintenance program to NEC PC-98x1 partition table maintenance program, since it is possible to have a DOS MBR formatted disk on FreeBSD/pc98 now (although we don't install any tools for this).

Fixes and new features: o Merge the -I switch from i386 verison to initialize the partition table to use the maximum amount possible for a single FreeBSD table. o Improve warning when the geom method fails (which I think it always will until geom_pc98 is updated to respond to this ctl message) o when writing out the boot sector, we have to write out a minimum of 1024 bytes or the sector size. This is different than the i386 case where we need to write out a minimum of 512 bytes (which is also the minimum sector size). We already handle this difference on reading, but didn't in writing, so attempting to write a new partition table would fail. o Add MID to the -s output, since pc98 users are likely interested in both of these parameters.
# I can now initialize disks on my pc98 machine either by -I or by # manually entering the parameters. I don't know if fdisk -B works or not, # since I'm not willing to risk my only working boot disk to test it..
