Hello, Freebsd-embedded.

  I have idea for making nanobsd upgrade images much faster: don't do
 "full" image at all, only one code partition, without M<BR and other
 stuff. Now "copy out" of "_.disk.image" from "_.disk.full" takes
 considerable amount of time, especially in VM, where I/O is not so
 good. IF you want only add some packages or fix one config (so, you
 don't need world/kernel rebuild) this copy out takes most of the
 build time!

  Maybe, somebody have such patch to nanobsd.sh locally? Or I try to
 make one. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
