On a 9.1 machine (FreeBSD cfd 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #1 r243880: 
Wed Dec  5 08:15:54 CET 2012 root at cfd:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386) I 
have changed the man page and come up with a patch attached. I have also 
changed references to ad0 (as stated in another mail to the lists)
I just can't figure out how to build and install the manpage or the whole 
gpart. This is different than most other applications, can someone provide 
some guidelines?

Would something like this do?
