New Revision: 185345
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/185345

Log:
  Create a fake geometry (16 heads, 64 sectors) when dealing with
  a plain file and a geometry is not explicitly supplied through
  command line or disktab entry.
  
  This way you can a FAT image on a file as simply as this:
  
  	newfs_msdos ./some/file
  
  (right now you need a much longer command
  
  	newfs_msdos -h 32 -u 64 -S 512 -s $total_blocks -o 0 ./some/file
  
  Will be merged after 7.1 and 6.4 are released.
  See also the related PR which suggests a similar change.
