System: NetBSD rainier 1.5.1_BETA NetBSD 1.5.1_BETA (JCR-1.5-20010407) #0: Sat Apr 7 01:44:35 PDT 2001 reed@rainier:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/JCR-1.5-20010407 i386


>Description:
fdisk(8) manual for netbsd-1-5 doesn't mention that a mbr manual page exists.
It seems like this would be useful. I see that the -current fdisk.8 has
a see also for mbrlabel(8).

Now that I look mbrlabel doesn't mention mbr(8). And mbr(8) doesn't mention
mbrlabel(8). Maybe it doesn't matter.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read fdisk manual page and wonder how to find out more about mbr.
>Fix:
Maybe this is OS specific and so it wasn't added.

Maybe add reference to mbr(8) (and maybe mbrlabel(8)) to netbsd-1-5 fdisk.8.

Also maybe add reference to mbr(8) to mbrlabel(8) manual page. And also
maybe add reference to mbrlabel(8) to mbr(8) manual page.

Three patches below. (Made for netbsd-1-5 but maybe useful for -current.)
