A lot of people have noticed odd problems with Mkfs created
filesystems. Mkfs creates old-style, type 1 ffs partitions that are
more compatible with the Booter than they type 3 that newfs makes by
default. For your /home partition, you could just tar up the files,
"newfs" it, and put the files back, and that will probably straighten
it all out.
