It does not help modern compilers, and some may take some hit from it.
(I also found several functions that listed *every* of its 10 local vars with
"register" -- just how many free registers do people think machines have?)
diskdrives do neither need nor want:
-O create a 4.3BSD format filesystem
-d rotational delay between contiguous blocks
-k sector 0 skew, per track
-l hardware sector interleave
-n number of distinguished rotational positions
-p spare sectors per track
-r revolutions/minute
-t tracks/cylinder
-x spare sectors per cylinder
No change in the produced filesystem image unless one or more of
these options were used.

open "/dev/stdout". This doesn't actually affect growfs, but does affect
ffsinfo, permitting ffsinfo to output to the shell's stdout rather than
requiring it be dumped to a file or explicitly pointed at a special
device.

Add a couple of simple regression tests accessible with "make test", they
depend on the md(4) driver.
FYI I have also tried running the test against a week old newfs and it
passed.
anyone needs a newfs without it. Remove the #ifdef's from around
the code and the -DFSIRAND from the Makefile. Also remove redundant
declarations of random() and srandomdev().
for i386 and alpha. Although it builds on sparc64, it does not yet work.
A similar hack as what is used on the sparc64 MD macros can be used to
make ia64 build too, but there doesn't seem to be much point.
Old code obfuscates long (but single-line) messages by printing them in
pieces using %s. Rev.1.41 obfuscated some new long messages using ISO
string concatenation. This commit only fixes the new obfuscations.

For a detailed description look at the commit log for sysctl.c
rev.1.42 -- i do not think it is appropriate to put the full
description in this manpage, and the "boot" and "loader" manpages
where this description might go are also missing a description of
a number of similar variables, so i think this it is ok to limit
documentation to this now, and update it later when I (or someone
else) have a chance to revise "boot" and "loader".
