>Description:

The "list" and "show" sub-commands of the gpart(8) program behave quite
differently and inconsistantly, depending on the exact form/format of the
designator used for the device/geom of interest.  Specifically:

	gpart show ada0		-- works just fine
	gpart show /dev/ada0	-- works just fine
	gpart list ada0		-- works just fine
	gpart list /dev/ada0	-- produces error "No such geom"

It would be better if the "list" and "show" sub-commands of the
gpart(8) program behaved consistantly with one another.  Either they
should both reject device designators that include a leading "/dev/"
or else they should both accept this form.

>How-To-Repeat:

See above.

>Fix:

Sorry, I do not have code to fix this.  I am just reporting the bug.
