creates a single file named just "boot".
Apart from the fact that the option "-s" is now gone and that "-b" should
be pointed at /boot/boot instead of /boot/boot1, this patch should be
a no-op.
for the disklabel: This facility is OBE.
First of all, we cannot sensibly implement this in a properly stacked
environment.
Second, if we did, it would confuse the heck out of users who
wouldn't be able to "start from scratch" by dd(8)'ing /dev/zero
onto /dev/da0.
Third, the offered protection is not comprehensive: no other software
would respect it.
Fourth and finally, the disklabel is already protected against
tampering if it controls open partitions.
Uselessness of these options discussed with: peter
answer for the euid. As a result, fix it such that setuid scripts or
programs may call route(8) to do work on their behalf.

called -r but it takes 512 byte blocks instead of megabytes, and I felt a
megabytes specification would be far more useful so I did not use the same
option character.
This will *greatly* improve dump performance at the cost of possibly
missing filesystem changes that occur between passes, and does a fairly
good job making up for the loss of buffered block devices. Caching is disabled
by default to retain historical behavior.
In tests, dump performance improved by about 40% when dumping / or /usr.
Beware that dump forks and the cache may wind up being larger then you
specify, but a more complex shared memory implementation would not produce
results that are all that much better so I kept it simple for now.
