The 15 blocks is referring to /boot/boot2 (which is 7680 bytes). UFS doesn't
use the first 15 blocks of the partition, and that is where we stuff boot2,
which is loaded from boot1, which lives in the volume boot record, which itself
is loaded by boot0 which lives in the master boot record. All of this only
applies to MBR.


This advice has already been changed in the man page in 2012:

This command is correct and applicably only for VTOC8 scheme.

Hello,

I found another bug in the gpart(8) man page and I am reporting it here instead
of filing a new bug, because it only requires a small correction.
Please tell me if you need a separate bug report instead.

Among the examples:

> After creating all required partitions, embed bootstrap code into them:
>
>   /sbin/gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1 da0

That command is not valid. Maybe the '-p' should be a '-b'?

# /sbin/gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1 da0
gpart: missing -i option
