>Description:

This example:

   /sbin/gpart create -s GPT ad0

from the gpart(8) man page fails with

   gpart: arg0 'ad0': Invalid argument

This alternative however seemt to be accepted with no errors:

   /sbin/gpart create -s GPT ada0

(I suspect that this same eror may have infected many, most, or all of the
other examples on this web page also.)

>How-To-Repeat:

man 8 gpart

>Fix:

Edit the EXAMPLES section of the gpart(8) man page.
