System: NetBSD gloom 1.5ZA NetBSD 1.5ZA (GLOOM) #13: Sun Mar 17 13:44:32 CET 2002 root@gloom:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GLOOM i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
There is no way to list the sysids recognized by fdisk besides 
checking the source, which is impossible when the system crashes (ie only / is 
mounted). Thus, one is unable to (for example) create a msdos partition in
case of emergency (if he doesn't remember that sysid, of course).
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Crash your /usr and try to make a msdos partition.
	
>Fix:
This patch adds the -l option to fdisk which lists all the sysids 
(this is the simplest solution, since fdisk already contains all the 
necessary information), and updates the manpage.
