Aargh...yes...I followed the guide 16.3.6 and used
newfs -O 1 to create filesystems:

 # dumpfs -s raid0a
 file system: /dev/rraid0a
 format  FFSv1
 endian  little-endian
 magic   11954           time    Thu Dec 26 09:18:57 2019
 superblock location     8192    id      [ 5e039dba 70e4d4fd ]
 cylgrp  dynamic inodes  4.4BSD  sblock  FFSv2   fslevel 4

Should I be concerned with having ffsv1 on this system? Since I've
got my box torn apart, would not be too hard to repeat raid creation and
newfs with -O 2....

I feel the note on filesystems being default ffsv2 in 16.3.7 of
the guide is misleading and/or inconsistent with using option
-O 1 for newfs in previous section... perhaps I can propose some
edits depending on if we want to guide folks to primarily use ffsv2.
