gpart actually works perfectly fine on big-endian systems, including PPC. It turns \
out it wasn't in the install CD mfsroot, and thus not accessible from the fixit \
shell, so I've put some new install CDs from today's -CURRENT here:

The directions at http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/ppcinstall.txt should then \
apply to real CDs that you can download. The addition of gpart will make it into \
                8.1-RELEASE as well.
