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?
