>Description:
$ mount_mfs -o ro -s 4m swap /mnt
$ mount -v -o rw -u /mnt
exec: mount_mfs -o update mfs:597 /mnt
mount_mfs: Unable to determine file system size

From a quick look the proble is that in sbin/newfs/newfs.c
the fssize variable is unitialized.

I encountered this while testing hpcsh miniroot,
so I guess all miniroot installs are potentially broken by this bug.
