Dima, I recently switched two of my diskless crash boxes over to rc.d from the old rc scripts, and discovered that the new rc.diskless code uses mdmfs. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support UFS2, since the newfs "-O" flag isn't supported -- and it isn't quite so simple to add, since mdmfs has renamed the newfs "-o" flags to "-O", causing a namespace collision. Basically, we need to be able to generate the -O1 or -O2 argument in the newfs call from mdmfs. I can hack it locally in the mean time, but there is a long term maintenance question about passing newfs options through mdmfs due to command line argument collisions.
