 Hmm, to split hairs...  Do we have any tools which create an UFS2
 layout superblock but create an FFSv1 file system?  If not, then
 I'll claim that the distinction is ... slightly academic.

 Ah, yes, I should have checked that before submitting.  It's a
 lot better in -current -- it's possible to navigate from the

 newfs.
