Was the incorrect initialization in the response then a user error?

If so, then I've made the same error three times, and it would be nice
if someone would hit me over the head with a clue-by-four so I can avoid
doing it a fourth time. Installs on mac68k keep my wife awake. :-/

As I said in my first post, 

    http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-mac68k/2003/06/02/0000.html

(which was trimmed) this is on a fresh install on a performa 550 w/out
FPU, the three partitions that show the negative free space start above
700M in a 2G HD, all are 60M+, and none have more than 200K in use.

Thanks to everyone who pointed this out. If I am missing the reason why
df-ing a 60MB partition with nothing but an empty lost+found (du reports
8k in use) tells me I have negative free space, please tell me.
