Out of curiosity, what, if any, are the (user-visible) differences
between the 4.3BSD ffs (newfs -O) and the 4.4BSD ffs?  Eg, maximum
file/filesystem size, better performance, etc.

Also, other than with partitions used with Mkfs/Install/Booter, are
there any problems using the log filesystem (LFS) on NetBSD/mac68k?
