>Description:
(I didn't see in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pr-guidelines/
how to re-open a closed PR, so I'm filing this new one because the
closer of the old one intended to fix it but I'm fairly sure
overlooked it when someone else started changing the manpage.)

The manpage also still uses "partition" like the rest of the
PC world (instead of slice) in (at least) the first sentence,
but since I don't like using "slice" anyway, I didn't patch it.

That's about all I can bear to check, after I spent at least a
week preparing a 1300-line patch for the 4.x version and having
it pretty-much ignored without a "sorry" or "thanks anyway".
Boo hoo.
