I experienced the same phenomenon on 7600/200 and 9600/200MP with the 990220
floppy. The reason why newfs failed is that disklabel did not run correctly,
I think. As I checked "disklabel sd0", nothing had changed. After I ran disk
label manually, then newfs worked, as in the Erik's report.
Next I tried to configure network. The mc0 complained "mc0: collision error,
mc0: lost carrier". This phenomenon is common in 7600/200 and 9600/200MP, too.
