Q800.  Same problem.  I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, but apparently
it got lost in the shuffle.

If it's what I think it is, it's a problem with current kernels and the
MacOS-side mkfs.  I'm not sure if it's fixed in the current version or
not.  Anyway, newfs under NetBSD definitely generates correct values.  Has
anyone compared the generated filesystems to see if this is something that
could be cleaned up in fsck, by any chance?
