Doing `tar cMff /dev/rfd0 /dev/rfd1 FILES', I get:

Prepare volume #3 for /dev/rfd0 and hit return:
Prepare volume #4 for /dev/rfd1 and hit return:
Prepare volume #5 for /dev/rfd0 and hit return:
[etc.]

I do not get prompted for volume #1 and #2.  On tar versions before
multiple f's, I was never prompted for volume #1 with M.  If one is
supposed to be mounting two volumes to start with, why do not assume
one can mount two volumes at a time afterwards, and not prompt for
even numbered volumes?

My personnal taste, however, is all different.  I would rather be
prompted for *all* volumes with `tar M', even for the first, whatever
one of two f's.  I presume others would rather have no prompt at all.

In any case, could `tar M' prompting be more consistent?  Could the
way it proceeds be made selectable?
