Partnew command parameters documented incorrectly

[Walt Neubauer]

The documentation I was able to find indicated that the partnew took the
beginning and end sectors as parameters.  That gave really odd results, but
using the beginning sector, and the number of sectors did the trick.

I'm using grub to boot from way more than 4 primary partitions.  I love
it!!!
