>Description:

the 'disks-encrypting' section suggests creating a gbde partition
lock as /etc/gbde/ad4s1c, the gbde manpage suggests /etc/gbde/ad4s1c.lock,
and /etc/rc.d/gbde looks for /etc/gbde/PARTITION.lock

following the handbook's advice, one will not be able to use the
rc.conf/rc.d system to mount a gbde file system.

additionally, the handbook suggests the 'c' partition (the magic whole disk),
while the manpage suggests using a 'real' partition. the author of this
PR found that using the 'c' partition didn't work


>How-To-Repeat:

follow the GBDE instructions in the handbook, section 18.16

>Fix:

(*) change the handbook to use the 'a' partition in its example (as it will
exist after following the instructions on adding a new drive (section 18.3)

(*) change the handbook to instruct users to create the lockfile with the
.lock suffix
