- Is your FS really an FFSv1 one?  Otherwise you will probably want to

I didn't explicitly make it a FFSv2 fs, (or anything else), just
used the defaults on newfs.

dumpfs says it's an FFSv1 filesystem.

I'll try bootxx_ffsv2, but I don't expect much change.. :(  

(will bootxx_ffsv2 boot an FFSv1 filesystem?  If so, why are
there two distinct boot loaders?)
