The default type of `vnode' is explicitly described in the -f option
help. I was just a bit careless when reading the manpage, and expected
the description to be near -t type instead of -f file:
-f file
Filename to use for the vnode type memory disk. Options
-a and -t vnode are implied if not specified.
We can probably reduce the command-length, but expand the description of
the example.
How about this change?
