I notice that if I newfs a partition under MacOS X I can mount it in 
the install kernel of NetBSD.  I can't do the converse:  OSX fsck 
complains about something with the directories being 1024 instead of 
512.

Could someone comment on what the differences are and what an 
ignorant user should do about it if they want a partition usable 
under both OS's?
