Not bad. ;-)

Restore shouldn't be much dependent on UFS features.  Unlike
(ufs)dump, it works at file level, not at disk level.

Better name it `dosdump'?  Remember, there's more DOSes than just M$.
Also, we do already have a mkdosfs(8), maybe somebody would even write
a dosfsck(8).  (mkdosfs doesn't understand harddisks however.  I'm not
the right person to ask for this, my DOS knowledge is too weak.)

Ideally, all this should probably named s/dos/fat/g.  It's a more
descriptive name of this filesystem.
