-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm mbrlabel
-.Nd generate incore disklabel from MBR label(s)
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Ar device
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-is used to generate an incore disklabel from the MBR label(s) found
-on disks that were previously used on DOS/Windows systems (or
-other MBR using systems).
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-utility generates an incore label from the MBR contained in the very first
-block of the disk, then walking through every extended partition found
-and generating additional partition entries for the disk from the
-MBRs found in those extended partitions.
-The partitions are sequentially entered into the constructed disklabel
-as partitions
-.Em a , b
-and so on until no more MBR partitions are found or all available
-entries in the disklabel are used up.
-The raw partition (typically partition
-.Em c ,
-but
-.Em d
-on i386) is left alone during this process.
-The resulting disklabel is then placed as the incore disklabel for
-this disk.
-.Sh BUGS
-Due to the way disk drivers currently work in
-.Nx ,
-any incore disklabel is forgotten whenever the last partition of a
-disk is closed.
-Since typically you wouldn't have a partition open on a disk while
-running
-.Nm
-this lossage will most likely happen, if
-.Nm
-is used naively.
-.Pp
-The workaround until the disk drivers are fixed is to keep the
-raw partition open until you access the partition(s) of the
-disk via e.g.
-.Xr mount 8 .
-.Pp
-E.g. you could use
-.Dl sleep 100</dev/rsd0c &
-.Dl mbrlabel sd0
-.Dl mount -t msdos /dev/sd0a /msdos
-to mount a disk containing only one DOS partition.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr disklabel 8
-.Sh HISTORY
-The
-.Nm
-command appeared in
-.Nx 1.4 .
