mac-fdisk: bad usage - no device argument

        mac-fdisk [-h|--help]
        mac-fdisk [-v|--version]
        mac-fdisk [-l|--list [name ...]]
        mac-fdisk [-r|--readonly] name ...
        mac-fdisk name ...


So /sbin/mac-fdisk is hosed for some reason, but /sbin/fdisk seems to be
a working mac-fdisk.
