Fixes and new features:

o Merge the -I switch from i386 verison to initialize the partition table
  to use the maximum amount possible for a single FreeBSD table.
o Improve warning when the geom method fails (which I think it
  always will until geom_pc98 is updated to respond to this ctl message)
o when writing out the boot sector, we have to write out a minimum of
  1024 bytes or the sector size.  This is different than the i386 case where
  we need to write out a minimum of 512 bytes (which is also the minimum
  sector size).  We already handle this difference on reading, but didn't
  in writing, so attempting to write a new partition table would fail.
o Add MID to the -s output, since pc98 users are likely interested in
  both of these parameters.

# I can now initialize disks on my pc98 machine either by -I or by
# manually entering the parameters.  I don't know if fdisk -B works or not,
# since I'm not willing to risk my only working boot disk to test it..
