Bad form to followup to my own post, I know, but it seems relevant.  I
discovered that the problem apparently was that mkfs randomly
clobbered parts of my disk.  After running the System 7 version of
mkfs, I've encountered bad files on my Mac partitions and ended up
with newly fs'ed partitions that BSD doesn't like -- it says that the
superblock doesn't match the first alternate.  This has happened on
more than one occasion.  What I eventually did was to use mkfs only
on the root partition, then install and boot BSD and run newfs from
BSD on any other partitions I wanted to use.  Has anybody else
encountered messed-up files after running mkfs?
