I often use small USB sticks, small virtual machine images, SD cards and 
the like which end up sometimes having not enough inodes for a pkgsrc tree 
even when there's plenty of space. If the defaults worked well enough, for 
instance, for a 1 gig image, then it'd be nice to not need to think about, 
but right now the defaults for a 1 gig image give:

/dev/rvnd0a: 1024.0MB (2097152 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048
        using 6 cylinder groups of 170.67MB, 10923 blks, 21504 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
32, 349568, 699104, 1048640, 1398176, 1747712,

So the options would be nice :)

Thanks!
