>Description:
The -I option to disklabel is not explicitly documented. From the
examples, one can infer that it _probably_ means:
Act as -r, but provide defaults instead of failing with
an error, if there is no existing disklabel on the disk.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the disklabel(8) man-page. Guess at the purpose of the -I option.
>Fix:
My *roff skills are too rusty. (^& However, the doubly-indented
sentence under Description seems like a fair first-cut at a description,
_if_ my assumption about -I's purpose is correct. (I haven't peeked
at the source, I confess...I'm in the midst of something else, at the
moment.)
