>Description:

In attempting, but failing thus far, to setup RAID-1 for my SCSI boot
disk I noticed that Chapter 23 of the NetBSD Guide references `fdisk'
as though it is a command found in all NetBSD versions.  NetBSD 1.6.2
for sparc64 does not include this command.  It is my belief that the
`fdisk' command may be specific to the i386 platform.

>How-To-Repeat:

N/A

>Fix:

Modify documentation in "23.1. Introduction" and "23.3. Setting up the
second disk" to reflect that `fdisk' is only used on the i386 platform
and add documentation, if necessary, to accomplish similar functions
to `fdisk' on other platforms.
