Hello
A patch could be as below.
Note I have changed the proposed commands a bit since to match new usage
of disklabel and to init the backing file.
I just add it as a different example since it IMO serves a different
purpose than the example with backing of /tmp/boot.flp.
Btw. note my posting to freebsd-current about disklabel coredumping if
anyones decides to try this.
