Also, on many systems I don't remember what kind of FS I have. Usually I use FFSv1 for / and FFSv for everything else. So I run dumpfs which gets me output like: format FFSv1 endian little-endian magic 11954 time Fri Jun 26 00:37:38 2015 cylgrp dynamic inodes 4.4BSD sblock FFSv2 fslevel 4 format FFSv2 endian little-endian location 65536 (-b 128) magic 19540119 time Fri Jun 26 09:10:43 2015 cylgrp dynamic inodes FFSv2 sblock FFSv2 fslevel 5 Be careful not to misinterpret "sblock FFSv2" as a FFSv2 system. It merely has a a v2-style superblock which is level 4, vs ffsv2 which is level 5. It would be nice if installboot could check the fslevel with the v1/v2 bootblocks.
