Bug ID: 211503
Summary: gpart bootcode should have an easier way to specify
partition index
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]

When installing bootcode to a partition, the user needs to find the right
partition index.
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0
This is tedious and error-prone. The bootcode command should take an
alternative parameter that specifies the partition in a more user-friendly way.
My first idea is -t <type>, such as
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -t freebsd-boot da0
This would install to the first freebsd-boot partition on da0.
Perhaps another option is to use the partition's label, which would be even
more user-friendly.
