That's a known problem no one's decided to fix. The problem is that
there are different ffs levels (version numbers). newfs will make a
level 2 by default, but the installer only knows about level 1
filesystems. NetBSD's happy with level 1 systems (though they can't
be used in union mounts).

Take care,
