>Environment:
	The bug I see in 6.x, but I think that it is since 5.0, so the
	problem is for all 5.x, 6.x and 7.x.

>Description:
	The help in file usr.sbin/sysinstall/help/slice.hlp is wrong about
	"dangerously dedicated" mode. The choice after pressing 'A' was
	removed in disks.c since revision 1.124 at Jan 15, 2001 and then it
	was further changed, so that there is documented 'F' with the old
	behavior of 'A'. Paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 in sysinstall/help/slice.hlp
	should be modified, so that they respect the current state and
	I think that the last final note should be removed at all, because
	the 'F' key is documented now.

	(The comment in disks.c: case 'F': /* Undocumented magic Dangerously
	Dedicated mode */ is wrong now too.)
