I looked for that text in "geom" (which is linked to gpart, I think),
and didn't find it, or I'd be submitting a patch.  But "ad10 has
bootcode" should really say something that makes it clearer so this
question doesn't come up again.  I know *I* had this question too.

Maybe "new ad10 bootcode successfully installed" or something.
