Description Vadim K. 2013-08-08 08:40:02 UTC 
Documentation at:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot0cfg&sektion=8

Section: EXAMPLES contains example of getting back to non-interactive booting by 
fdisk -B ad0

But this example will not work without setting kern.geom.debugflags=16

Fix: 

Please, add extra lines to this example. Like:

-------------------------------------------
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
fdisk -B ad0
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0
-------------------------------------------

Probably it will save a lot of time for people searching why fdisk -B ad0 not workig ....

This boot0cfg(8) example has used gpart instead of fdisk since 2015 ( base r287396 ).
