>Description:
The documentation for dk(4), dkctl(8), newfs(8), newfs_lfs(8) is unclear on what exact partition types could be used for manually creating a wedge.
>How-To-Repeat:
man dkctl and read that under the 'addwedge' option that you need to specify a partition type.

Create a partition with a type of 4.2BSD:
# dkctl /dev/raid0d addwedge raid0w0 0 4194304 4.2BSD

Newfs fails to run:
# newfs /dev/dk0                                      
newfs: /dev/dk0 partition type is not `4.2BSD'
>Fix:
Document which partition types (as strings) are acceptable arguments for dkctl so that newfs{,_lfs}(8) will create the filesystem.
