Hello Frederick!

Re-reading the thread in search of clues, I found your advice...

  FB> You can do that with...

    > disklabel -W wd0
    > env EDITOR=vi disklabel -e wd0
    > disklabel -N wd0

...which has enabled me to enter values for fsize, bsize and cpg.  Now
I may have more luck with newfs.  Thanks.

Regards,
