There is nothing in the md or mdconfig manual pages about hard links. So it
looks like you're right.
To test it, you could use `ls -i` on two files in the mounted CD-ROM image
that you suspect should be hard-linked. E.g. ${CD}/bin/[ and ${CD}/bin/test.
If they don't return the same inode number md(4) does not provide hard link=
s.

tar 3.1.2 is the version included in FreeBSD 10. Since libarchive and cpio =
have
the same version, I assume they belong together.
What you could try is copy /usr/src/contrib/libarchive/ from 10.0 in to your
9.1 source tree and see if you can build it on 9.1.
