>Description:
This is a really trivial cosmetic thing, but if (as with most new drives)
you newfs a large partition, then the 80 column wrapping breaks down.

>How-To-Repeat:
newfs a large partition (> 1000000 sectors)

>Fix:
change line 591 in sbin/newfs/mkfs.c from:
		if (cylno % 9 == 0)
to:
		if (cylno % 8 == 0)
