NetBSD's makefs has a -Z flag to create the image as a sparse file. In FreeBSD, the flag is spelled -p. Is there a reason for using a different flag? It would be very nice to preserve CLI compatibility with NetBSD. NetBSD committed first (by one month), and neither change has gone into a release yet, so we should change to match NetBSD. We should do it soon, too, since our change will go into 9.2-RELEASE. If we agree, I'll gladly make the patches, trivial though they'll be. Eric
