>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.)
