As your current installation is in the "bad" time window, you will have to
follow Chuck's guide to safely update:

	https://wiki.netbsd.org/features/UFS2ea/

But most likely you will decide to no not need EAs and the easy upgrade
path is to stay with FFSv2 (i.e.: not run ufs2ea-flip, but only fsck).

This is the path we expect most users to take.
