 I'm not sure. It would be nice to have some introductory information
 in dk(4) that, you know, says what a wedge is and describes a little
 bit about disk partitioning. All the docs tell you right now is that
 there are these things called wedges and they might have something to
 do with partition tables; it doesn't say what behavior to expect or
 how to use wedges effectively.
 
 My inclination would not have been to close this; in fact, I think
 maybe it should be reopened. Anyone else have an opinion?
