I added -o reserve where there is the -a option used with mdconfig but
without luck.
My change are avalaible at
http://djdomics.free.fr/FreeBSD/freesbie2/patches/mdconfig-reserve.diff

When I boot an ISO (with unionfs enabled), I see errors like this:

mdconfig: must specify -f for -t vnode
mdconfig: must specify -s for -t malloc or -t swap

I'm a bit lost :-(

What's wrong with my change ?

Regards.
