Also, as I recall, the 1.1 manual set didn't include a page (either hardcopy
or printed) for dumb.bsd. I think that the documentation refered to dumpfs,
so a name change happened somewhere along the line.

The file system size/dump/restore comment was made in some obscure place
in the manual set, most probably in the Local Sys. Admin Guide... I wish I
had kept my 1.1 manual, but I barely have space enuff for my 2.0 manuals :)
