> >Synopsis:       fdisk is missing an option to avoid displaying extended partition data

I have a version (which I must do some further testing of) that is
slightly less verbose - unless gives one, or more, -v paramters.

The current extended partition print assumes (incorrectly) that the
extended partition is a tree structure, not a list.
The default output from my version is:


Disk: /dev/rwd0d
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 40032696
