>Description:

  This patch adds two new options to nanobsd.sh:

  -f ([f]ast) options supress of extraction of CODE slice (s1) from final image. If you need full image to prepare new device, you don't need separate file with CODE slice, and this otions saves lots of time.
  -z ([z]ap) option works only if NANO_MD_BACKING=file and supresses creation of image file from "/dev/zero". It zeroes out two first cylinders of EXISTENT image file, left from previous runs. If image file is absent or has wrong size, process stops.

  These two options, when used together, make experiments with creating NanoBSD images MUCH faster even on modern hardware.
