MFC r306731:
Document the history of fdisk based on the original post to comp.unix.bsd by Julian Elischer [1] and the Mach 2. 5 Installation notes [2]. I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared as I could not find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo history. fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this, I have avoided stating the exact version fd isk first appeared in Mach. Add authors section. Make correction pointed by igor [1] https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.unix.bsd/Hhi45vAHxDg/discussion [2] ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/doc/misc/mach-i386-doc/i386_install.ps [3] ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/doc/misc/mach-i386-doc/i386_manpages.ps PR: 212469 Approved by: bcr (mentor) Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D8104
